Wheel alignments work to ensure your tires are angled correctly–front and rear wheels on your vehicle should be perpendicular to the ground and parallel to the tire beside it.—so they can maintain straight-line tracking. Proper wheel alignment is arguably the most important aspect of wheel and tire maintenance. Ensuring your vehicle is correctly aligned will save you big money in the long run, maximize your vehicle’s performance, reduce uneven tire wear: ensuring a safe passage for you and those around you.
As we assess your vehicle’s alignment, we’ll be inspecting three key elements: the camber, the caster, and the toe. The camber is the measure of the degree of perpendicular offset from the road surface. The caster is the angle of your wheel’s pivot which is directly attached to the suspension. Finally, the toe refers to the angle of directional difference between the tire and the center-line of the vehicle. When these are at out alignment, they pose great risks to your safety that include vehicle control issues, poor tire performance, and uneven tire wear.
Wheels that are out of alignment can cause issues with drivability and over all vehicle handling. Generally speaking, a four-wheel alignment is often the top choice for many drivers, especially those who have front-wheel drive. Wheels can become misaligned for a variety of reasons–ones as catastrophic as an accident, or as small as simply hitting everyday obstacles like potholes and curbs.
There are quite a few major signs that will alert you about an impending alignment repair. Be sure to pay attention to any of the following:
