Signs You May Need a Wheel Alignment
Wheel alignment can gradually change as suspension and steering components wear or after impacts such as potholes and curbs. If the wheels are no longer positioned correctly, you may notice changes in steering, handling or tire wear.
If you notice any of the following symptoms, it may be time to have your vehicle’s alignment checked:
- Vehicle pulls to the left or right
- Uneven or premature tire wear
- Steering wheel is off-center while driving straight
- Loose or wandering steering
- Vehicle does not track straight on a level road
Professional Wheel Alignment
Our technicians begin by checking your vehicle’s alignment measurements and comparing them with the manufacturer’s specifications. We also look for tire, steering or suspension conditions that may affect alignment or prevent the vehicle from holding proper adjustment.
When adjustment is needed, we correct the applicable alignment angles for your vehicle. Depending on the vehicle and suspension design, these measurements may include toe, camber, caster and thrust angle.
- Check steering and suspension components
- Inspect tire condition, wear and inflation
- Measure alignment against manufacturer specifications
- Adjust applicable alignment angles as needed
- Verify steering wheel position and vehicle alignment
If worn steering or suspension components are affecting the alignment, those parts may need to be repaired before an accurate alignment can be completed. Addressing both the underlying mechanical condition and the alignment helps improve handling and reduce unnecessary tire wear.
Lowered Vehicle Specialists
We specialize in wheel alignments for lowered and modified vehicles. Our alignment equipment can accommodate vehicles with as little as 3 inches of ground clearance, giving drivers with lowered cars a professional alignment option that many standard alignment setups cannot handle.
