What is a Wheel Alignment?

Most people conflate wheel alignments with tire pressure adjustments, but these are very different services. An alignment involves adjusting the angles of your vehicle’s suspension system to align with the manufacturer's recommended specifications. The goal of an alignment is to ensure that the wheels are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground, or in other words, it is to straighten your wheels and the direction your car naturally “pulls” towards.

How Do You Know You Need an Alignment?

Driving over speed bumps, bumpy roads, hitting a curb, or having the misfortune of getting in a fender bender can throw your vehicle out of alignment. However, normal wear and tear also contribute to alignment issues. Here are a few common indicators that your vehicle needs alignment.

• - Your car pulls to one side when you are driving.
• - Your steering wheel is turned slightly to one side even when driving straight.
• - You have to make constant steering corrections while driving on the highway.
• - The inside or outside of one or more of your tires has excessive wear.
