Wheel Alignment

It might be surprising, but your vehicle’s wheel alignment affects your vehicle in more ways than you might thing. If your wheels are not in alignment it will cause your tires to wear unevenly and not last as long as they should. Unaligned tires can also be responsible for premature brake wear. A third malady that can be blamed on your vehicle’s wheel alignment is your ride’s smoothness being less than it could be.

Generally, one of the easiest ways to know if your vehicle is out of alignment is if it “pulls” to one side or the other when traveling down a straight road.

The difference between a front end alignment and a wheel alignment is the number of wheels being aligned. We recommend a front end alignment every 2 years or 20,000 miles. If, when your tires are being rotated, premature wear is noticed we may recommend a front end alignment or a 4 wheel alignment depending on your vehicle’s needs.

If your vehicle has been in an accident or if you have accidently traveled off-road you would be a good candidate for an alignment. In such a case most vehicles will require a 4 wheel alignment. On some vehicles only the front wheels are adjustable.

If you need help deciding whether you need a front-end alignment or a 4 wheel alignment give us a call 763-559-9898.
