Usage Note
Alineamiento refers to the act or result of aligning things in a line or in agreement — political parties form alineamientos (alignments/blocs), wheels need alineamiento (wheel alignment). It is largely synonymous with alineación, though alineación is more common in everyday speech; alineamiento tends to appear in technical or geopolitical contexts.
