🔧 What Is Wheel Alignment?
Wheel alignment involves adjusting the angles of your vehicle's wheels to the manufacturer's specifications. These adjustments—known as camber, caster, and toe—ensure that your wheels are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. Proper alignment helps your tires wear evenly and your vehicle handle correctly.
🚗 Signs Your Vehicle May Need an Alignment
Uneven or Rapid Tire Wear: Misaligned wheels can cause tires to wear unevenly or more quickly than normal.
Vehicle Pulling to One Side: If your car drifts to the left or right when driving straight, it may indicate alignment issues.
Steering Wheel Off-Center: A crooked steering wheel when driving straight suggests misalignment.
Vibrations in the Steering Wheel: This can be a sign of alignment problems or other suspension issues.
✅ Benefits of Proper Wheel Alignment
Improved Fuel Efficiency: Misaligned wheels can decrease gas mileage by up to 10%. Proper alignment reduces rolling resistance, enhancing fuel economy.
Extended Tire Life: Correct alignment prevents uneven tire wear, prolonging the lifespan of your tires.
Enhanced Handling and Safety: Proper alignment ensures your vehicle handles as designed, improving safety and driving comfort.
Reduced Auto Repairs: Maintaining correct alignment reduces strain on suspension components, potentially lowering repair costs.
