What is a Wheel Alignment?
A wheel alignment is an adjustment of your vehicle's suspension - the system that connects the wheels to the vehicle. It involves setting the angles of the tires to the manufacturer’s recommended position. Proper alignment ensures optimal drivability.
Signs Your Vehicle is Out of Alignment
There are a few ways to tell if your vehicle needs a wheel alignment:
- Your vehicle pulls to one side while driving straight on a level road.
- You notice uneven or rapid tire wear.
- Your steering wheel is crooked when driving straight.
- The handling feels loose or unstable, especially at higher speeds.
If you notice any of these signs, it's best to have your alignment checked by a professional.
Benefits of Regular Wheel Alignments
Having your wheels aligned properly provides many benefits:
- It helps your tires last longer by preventing uneven wear.
- Fuel economy may improve as properly aligned tires have less rolling resistance.
- Your vehicle will drive straighter and handle better.
- It prevents premature wear of other suspension components.
