What Is Wheel Alignment and Why Is It Important?
Wheel alignment involves adjusting your car’s wheels to the manufacturer’s recommended angles. Proper alignment ensures that your tires wear evenly, your car handles well, and your driving experience remains safe and smooth.
Misaligned wheels can lead to uneven tire wear, decreased fuel efficiency, and a less comfortable ride, making regular alignment checks a vital part of car maintenance.
Signs That Your Wheels Are Misaligned
Recognizing the signs of misalignment early can prevent costly repairs. Common symptoms include:
- Tires Wearing Unevenly: Look for signs of uneven wear on the inner or outer edges of your tires.
- Drifting Steering Wheel: If your car drifts to one side even when the steering wheel is centered, alignment may be the issue.
- Car Vibrations: Misaligned wheels can cause vibrations in the steering wheel or throughout the car.
- Steering Wheel Not Centered: Your steering wheel may not return to the center position after a turn.

- Increased Tire Longevity: Even alignment prevents uneven tire wear, saving you money on replacements.
