Why Your Wheel Alignment is Important

A wheel alignment or tire alignment is an adjustment of your vehicle’s suspension system. The suspension system is what connects your vehicle to the wheels. If your wheels are out of alignment, your vehicle’s handling capabilities will be dramatically reduced. Your ability to turn the car in either direction will be inhibited, and your vehicle will pull to one side, making it more difficult to drive in a straight line.

Poor alignment also causes uneven wear on your tires, reducing their lifespan and making it more dangerous to drive in inclement weather.

Causes and Signs of Bad Alignment

There are a number of things that can cause your alignment to go bad. A sudden jarring or hard impact, like hitting a pothole or curb, or a minor accident will knock your wheels out of alignment. In addition, normal wear and tear on various parts and components can affect the alignment. As your vehicle’s shocks and struts start to wear out, it can cause a slack in steering and a shift on your alignment. Finally, if you modify the height of your vehicle through lifting, you need to adjust the suspension system or you risk alignment problems.

Signs Your Alignment is Off

  • Your vehicle pulls to the left or right

  • Uneven tread wear toward the edge of your tires

  • Vibration in the steering wheel

  • Your steering wheel is off-center

  • Your vehicle wobbles or shakes above a certain speed
