Understanding Wheel Alignment and Its Importance
Proper wheel alignment means adjusting your vehicle’s wheels to match the manufacturer’s specified angles. Correct wheel alignment ensures your tires last longer, improves vehicle handling, and provides a safer driving experience.
Misaligned wheels can lead to uneven tire wear, decreased fuel efficiency, and a less comfortable ride, making regular alignment checks a vital part of car maintenance.
Signs That Your Wheels Are Misaligned
Recognizing the signs of misalignment early can prevent costly repairs. Common symptoms include:
- Irregular Tire Wear: Look for signs of uneven wear on the inner or outer edges of your tires.
- Steering Wheel Drifting: A steering wheel that pulls to one side while centered indicates a possible alignment problem.
- Steering Wheel Vibrations: You may experience vibrations in your steering wheel or car due to misalignment.
- Steering Wheel Not Centered: When your steering wheel doesn’t center properly after a turn, it's a sign of misalignment.

- Improved Tire Lifespan: Correct alignment reduces uneven tire wear, which means longer tire life and fewer replacements.
- Improved Gas Mileage: Proper alignment reduces rolling resistance, improving gas mileage.
