Wheel alignment is the process of adjusting the angles of the wheels on your vehicle to the specifications of your vehicle manufacturer. When your vehicle was built, the wheels were perfectly positioned to the manufacturer’s ideal specifications, but over time your vehicle loses its alignment. Misalignment issues can lead to serious safety and performance issues and costly repairs. A wheel alignment service will optimize the various angles of your wheels to each other, and to the road. 

The Most Common Indications Your Vehicle Requires a Wheel Alignment

• Steering Wheel is Not Straight — If you are driving on a flat straight path, your steering wheel should be straight, centered, and still. Poor alignment will cause your steering wheel to be crooked and off-centered or at an odd angle when driving straight. 
• Drifting or Pulling — If your vehicle drifts to the left or right while driving straight down a leveled road your alignment is off. 
• Uneven Tire Wear — A camber adjustment issue will cause excessive tire wear, particularly on the edges of your tires. 
• Vibration — If your steering wheel vibrates when you are driving, this can be another indication your wheels are out of alignment. 
• The Vehicle Handling Feels Loose — Your car will be unstable and loose when driving straight and taking turns due to improper wheel alignment. 
• Vehicle Noise — If you hear squeaking, creaking, knocking or rubbing when you start driving or go around corners, this may be an indication of steering and suspension issues. A wheel alignment will be required after these repairs.
