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.
Misalignment of wheels can cause uneven tire wear, reduce fuel efficiency, and lead to a rougher ride, which is why alignment checks are essential for maintaining your car.
How to Spot Misalignment in Your Vehicle
Identifying the early symptoms of misalignment can help avoid expensive fixes. Keep an eye out for these common signs:
- Uneven Tire Wear: Check for excessive wear on the inner or outer edges of your tires.
- Drifting Steering Wheel: When your steering wheel drifts to one side while driving straight, misalignment could be the cause.
- Vibrations: Misaligned wheels can cause vibrations in the steering wheel or throughout the car.
- Off-Center Steering Wheel: When your steering wheel doesn’t center properly after a turn, it's a sign of misalignment.
Why Proper Wheel Alignment Is Important
Proper wheel alignment brings multiple benefits, including:
- Longer Tire Life: Correct alignment reduces uneven tire wear, which means longer tire life and fewer replacements.
- Better Fuel Economy: Correct wheel alignment helps lower rolling resistance, which improves your car’s fuel efficiency.
- Improved Ride Comfort: Your car handles better, with reduced pulling and vibrations.
- Increased Safety: Alignment improves your vehicle's stability and braking, making driving safer.
