Wheel Alignment: 4 Signs Pointing To Car Alignment!

There is nothing more disappointing than getting into your car to begin that last

road trip of the summer to find out your vehicle has an alignment issue. A poor wheel alignment can cause not only your tires to wear out prematurely, but put the safety of you and your passengers at risk.

The purpose of a proper car alignment is to maximize the life of your tires and ensure that your vehicle drives straight and true on a smooth and level road. A correct wheel alignment consists of adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are perpendicular to the road and parallel to each other.

Do you recognize these 4 signs of a needed Wheel Alignment?

* You have to keep make steering corrections while driving on a straight level road

* The spokes of the steering wheel are off-center while driving straight

* The tires show signs of uneven and rapid wear

* When you take your hands off the steering wheel, the vehicle pulls or drifts away from the straight line.

Try this test to visually check your cars alignment. Insert a coin in the tread of each tire at the inside, center, and outside to notice if

* The tread is deeper on one side of the car than the other.

* The tread is smooth in one direction, but jagged in the other.

A technician will usually recommend a four-wheel alignment as any rear tracking problems can be identified and compensated for with adjustments to the front. Following the wheel alignment, test-drive the car on a straight, level road to make sure that it doesnt pull to one side or another, and that the spokes of the steering wheel are level. If there is still a problem, be sure to take it back, as any reputable mechanic will want to fine-tune the car alignment settings.
