Is It Time for a Wheel Alignment?
posted on
2/5/2020 2:40:14 PM
Wheel alignment
helps your tires perform properly and support them in lasting longer. It makes your vehicle handling much easier and keeps it from pulling in one direction or vibrating on the road. Your vehicle’s suspension will be adjusted so that the angles of the tires make proper contact with the road.
What Causes Misalignment?
Due to bad roads and potholes, your alignment can be greatly affected. Poorly maintained roads will cause alignment issues which in turn can accelerate uneven tire wear.
When Should I Get My Alignment Checked?
You should have your vehicle alignment checked every 6,000 miles. A wheel alignment will help your
tires
last longer, your vehicle drives smoother and ultimately your wheels to stay pointed in the right direction. You will also save fuel because your vehicle will require less energy to keep going.
How to Tell Wheel Alignment is Off
There are noticeable signs that could indicate that your wheel alignment needs to be fixed. If you notice any of these indicators, you should have your alignment checked by our expert technicians at
Lake Ridge Auto Care
.
Vehicle Pulls in One Direction or the Other
— Your vehicle pull is most easily noticed while driving straight down a level road. Your vehicle should be able to drive straight ahead with very little effort on the steering wheel. If your vehicle pulls to one side or the other, it is time to have your alignment checked and corrected.
Abnormal Tire Wear
— Wear on only the inside or outside edges of tires indicates a problem with the camber adjustment. Abnormal tire wear patterns are an indication that you need a wheel alignment. Proper alignment greatly increases the life of your tires by ensuring even tire wear.
Steering Wheel Doesn’t Return to Center
— After you complete a turn, your steering wheel should naturally start returning to center on its own as you keep driving. If your steering wheel doesn’t attempt to move itself back to the center, then an alignment check needs to be done.
Vibration
— If your alignment isn’t properly set, your vehicle will not drive smoothly, and you will notice a vibration in the steering wheel and the front of the car.
