Indications That Your Vehicle Needs a Wheel Alignment

Vibrations – Does your steering wheel shake as you are driving or coming to a stop? Does it rock left to right repeatedly? Any unnatural shaking occurs because two of your tires are competing against each other. This could create a dangerous situation for yourself or other drivers on the road.

Pulling – While you’re driving, do you notice your vehicle trying to pull to the left or right automatically? You should never have to yank your wheel or hold it to the side in order to keep your vehicle driving straight. Whether hard or soft pulling, this is a sure sign of wheel alignment issues.

Uneven Tire Wear – As part of routine auto maintenance, you should also be inspecting the wear of your tires. If one of your tires is wearing differently from the others, seek the help of a professional.

Causes of Bad Wheel Alignment

Sudden Impact – Hitting a pothole, brushing up against the curb, and bumping into solid walls or concrete parking stalls can cause a disturbance in your wheel alignment. The impact of the bump or accident, no matter how small, can be enough to shift your wheel alignment.

Natural Wear & Tear – Like other elements of your vehicle, your suspension components commonly see natural wear and tear. Your shocks and struts can become worn or loose over time, negatively affecting your wheel alignment.

Modifications – Have you decided to lift the suspension of your vehicle? This could cause your wheels to become misaligned as most vehicle suspensions are built with a specified height in mind.

What Happens During a Wheel Alignment Service?

During a wheel alignment service, the auto mechanic rotates and adjusts the wheels to properly fit the vehicle, and the manufacturer’s recommendations. Wheels also have various tilt adjustments to fit the driver’s preference.
