How are Wheel Alignment Services Performed?

Wheel alignment involves the adjustment of the vehicle's suspension. Your vehicle is hooked up to an alignment machine that is linked to a computer that makes precise measurements. Adjustments will be made to the various suspension angles known as toe, thrust, camber, and caster. The wheel alignment machine will adjust these angles so that they are set to the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.

Signs of Misalignment:

• Excessive or uneven tire wear
• The vehicle pulls to the left or right
• Steering feels loose or wanders
• Steering wheel vibration
• Steering wheel is not centered when the vehicle is moving straight ahead
• Common Causes of Wheel Misalignment:
• Everyday driving, but factors such as curbing, hitting a pothole etc., can alter it dramatically.
• Worn suspension parts. 
• Being in an accident 

Wheel alignment, along with regular tire rotation, will provide proper vehicle handling, and optimum tire wear and longevity. Proper maintenance of your vehicle will enhance its performance as well as increase the fuel economy of your vehicle.
