What's a Wheel Alignment?

Wheel alignments are meant to adjust your vehicle's wheel angles to match manufacturer specifications. This helps to reduce the car's tire wear, perform according to handling specifications, and confirm your vehicle tracks on a straight path. There are three angles that are evaluated and adjusted when your car's wheel alignment is being checked. They are the camber, caster, and toe. 

Improperly aligned tires can affect a drivers' ability to safely navigate the road ahead. Properly aligned wheels assist with your car's fuel efficiency, handling, and ensuring optimal tire performance. 

When Should You Have Your Wheel Alignment Checked? 

Depending on your driving style, driving conditions, and your car's manufacturer recommendations, tire alignment should typically be evaluated approximately every 6,000 miles. Some warning signs to keep an eye out for that can indicate that your vehicle may need a tire alignment include:

• Steering wheel is crooked when driving straight

• Car is pulling to the left or right

• Rapid or uneven tire wear

• Tires squealing
