Is your car pulling to one side? Steering wheel feeling off-center? You might need a wheel alignment. Let’s break down what this common service means and why it’s crucial for your vehicle’s performance.
What Is a Wheel Alignment?
A wheel alignment involves adjusting the angles of your wheels to ensure they’re properly positioned relative to both the road and each other. This precise adjustment affects how your vehicle handles, how your tires wear, and even your fuel efficiency.
The Three Key Alignment Angles
Technicians focus on three important measurements:
- Camber: The inward or outward tilt of your tires when viewed from the front
- Caster: The forward or backward tilt of your steering axis when viewed from the side
- Toe: How much your tires point inward or outward when viewed from above
Warning Signs You Need an Alignment
Watch for these common indicators:
- Uneven or unusual tire wear patterns
- Vehicle pulling to one side while driving straight
- Off-center steering wheel when driving straight
- Steering wheel vibration
