Wherever you are in Fairfield County, when you need a wheel alignment, you can give the team at Road Runner Mobile Tire Service a call and we’ll come to you!
The wheels of your car or truck should be parallel to each other and sit flat on the road. A wheel alignment, also sometimes known as a tire alignment, ensures that this is the case. Regular wheel alignments can save you money in the long run and promote optimal vehicle performance while reducing uneven tire wear.
When checking your car’s alignment, the technician is looking at three main things, the camber, caster, and toe. Camber is the measure of the degree of perpendicular offset from the road surface. Caster is the angle of your wheel’s pivot, which is attached to the suspension, and when this angle is out of alignment, straight-line tracking is affected. Toe refers to the angle of directional difference between the tire and the center-line of the vehicle. The front and rear wheels on your vehicle should always be perpendicular to the ground and parallel to the tire beside it.
Wheel alignment services can promote reduced tire wear, better gas mileage, and safer overall driving condition. Wheels that are out of alignment can wear down your tires in an uneven manner as your car puts more pressure on one side than the other. This can cause your vehicle to veer to the left or the right while driving. Untreated, these issues have the potential to turn into steering and suspension issues, since extra pressure will be on your suspension system.
If your vehicle begins pulling to the right or left while driving, or if you feel a vibration in the steering wheel at higher speeds, contact us today for a wheel alignment service. You won’t even have to leave your home or office!
