What Is Wheel Alignment and Why Is It Important?
Wheel alignment refers to adjusting the angles of your car’s wheels to meet the manufacturer's specifications. When your wheels are properly aligned, it helps your tires wear evenly, improves handling, and contributes to a safer, smoother ride.
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:
- Tires Wearing Unevenly: Check for excessive wear on the inner or outer edges of your tires.
- Steering Wheel Pulling: If your car drifts to one side even when the steering wheel is centered, alignment may be the issue.
- Vibrations: You may experience vibrations in your steering wheel or car due to misalignment.
- Misaligned Steering Wheel: When your steering wheel doesn’t center properly after a turn, it's a sign of misalignment.
Advantages of Correct Wheel Alignment
Proper wheel alignment brings multiple benefits, including:
- Increased Tire Longevity: Proper alignment helps ensure even tire wear, extending their lifespan and saving you money.
- Better Fuel Economy: Correct wheel alignment helps lower rolling resistance, which improves your car’s fuel efficiency.
