Precision Wheel Alignment: Keeping You Rolling Straight

Your car's wheels are like the feet of a runner – they need to be properly aligned for optimal performance and safety. That's where wheel alignment comes in. This essential service ensures your wheels are angled correctly – level with the ground, pointing straight ahead, and parallel to each other.

What is Wheel Alignment?

Wheel alignment involves adjusting the angles of your car's wheels to meet the manufacturer's specifications. These angles include:

• Camber: The tilt of the tire inward or outward from top to bottom.
• Caster: The angle of the steering axis as viewed from the side of the vehicle.
• Toe: The inward or outward direction of the front of the tires when viewed from above.

Proper wheel alignment is crucial for several reasons:

• Longer tire life: Improper alignment causes uneven tire wear, leading to premature tire replacement.
• Improved fuel efficiency: Properly aligned wheels roll smoother, reducing rolling resistance and improving fuel mileage.
• Enhanced handling and stability: Correct alignment ensures your car handles predictably and responds better to steering inputs.
• Reduced steering wheel vibration: Improper alignment can cause a vibration in the steering wheel, particularly at highway speeds.

How Often Should I Get My Wheels Aligned?

Q: How often should I get my wheels aligned?
A: Most manufacturers recommend getting your car's wheels aligned every 6,000 miles or twice per year, whichever comes first. However, if you experience any of the following signs, it's important to get your alignment checked sooner:

• Your car is pulling to one side: This is a classic sign of misalignment.
• Uneven tire wear: Look for cupping or feathering on the edges of your tires.
• Steering wheel vibration: This can be a symptom of improper alignment or other suspension problems.
• Difficulty steering: Your car may feel harder to steer than usual.
• You hit a pothole or curb: This can knock your wheels out of alignment.

Ignoring these signs can lead to:

• Premature tire wear: This can be a costly problem.
• Reduced fuel efficiency: You'll be spending more money on gas.
• Increased wear and tear on suspension components: This can lead to expensive repairs.
• Safety risks: Improper alignment can affect your car's handling and stability, increasing the risk of an accident.
