A wheel alignment, also known as a tire alignment, is a maintenance procedure that readjusts your wheels, per the manufacturer's specifications, to the correct angles. We recommend having an alignment inspection when you experience symptoms of misalignment, at the intervals recommended by in your owner's manual, and when installing tires. A vehicle can go out of alignment due to normal wear and tear; driving over potholes or rough roads; hitting curbs or other obstacles; or when the suspension components are worn or damaged.

Proper alignment will:

• • Promote Even Tire Wear: Proper alignment helps your tires wear evenly, extending their lifespan and saving you money.
• • Maintain Handling: Correct alignment helps with stability and control.
• • Prevent Damage: Misaligned wheels can lead to other issues, such as suspension problems or premature tire wear, if not corrected.
• An alignment is a relatively simple procedure that can have a significant impact on your driving experience and vehicle's health.

Symptoms of Misalignment

If you experience any of the following, you may need your alignment corrected:

• • Uneven Tire Wear: If you notice your tires wearing unevenly, it could be a sign that your alignment is off.
• • Vehicle Pulling: If your vehicle tends to pull to one side while driving, even when the steering wheel is straight, it indicates a potential alignment issue.
• • Steering Wheel Off-Center: If the steering wheel is off-center when driving straight, it's a sign of misalignment.
• • Vibrations: Vibrations in the steering wheel or through the vehicle's body can be a result of misaligned wheels.
• • Recent Impact: If you've hit a pothole, curb, or other obstacle, it's a good idea to have your alignment checked, as these impacts can knock your wheels out of alignment.
