Alignment
Does your car pull or drift away from a straight line when you let go of the wheel? Do your tires wear rapidly? If so, chances are you need a wheel alignment. Believe it or not, a wheel alignment has many benefits for your car, such as: improved handling, improved gas mileage and greater lifespan of tires.
What are the symptoms of a vehicle out of alignment?
- Excessive or uneven tire wear
- The vehicle pulls to the left or right
- Feeling of looseness or wandering
- Steering wheel vibration or shimmy
- Steering wheel is not centered when the vehicle is moving straight ahead
If you notice any of the above mentioned you may want to have your vehicle checked by a professional.
How often should I have my vehicle aligned?
Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation noted in your owner’s manual. As a general rule, have your wheel alignment checked every 10,000 miles or at least once a year.
