What Does Alignment Even Mean?
A wheel alignment adjusts the angles of your vehicle’s steering and suspension components back to factory specifications. This ensures that all four wheels are lined up properly with the vehicle’s centerline, helping them roll in the same direction. With the correct alignment, you’ll experience better handling, improved gas mileage, and longer-lasting tires. Technicians use specialized machines to measure these angles precisely before making any needed adjustments. Overlooking your alignment can be the difference between a smooth, enjoyable ride to a daunting one. There are a few things that can cause your tires to come out of alignment, so it’s natural for them to slowly become aligned over time. For example, lifting your car or hitting a curb can both knock your tires around.
How Do I Know I Need An Alignment?
Common signs include pulling to one side while driving, an off-center steering wheel, uneven tire wear, or needing to make constant steering corrections on the highway. Sometimes the symptoms are subtle, which is why experts recommend having your alignment checked at least once or twice a year, even if your car seems fine. Getting a checkup after hitting a pothole, curb, or road debris, or after installing new tires or suspension parts, is also a smart idea.
