You may know that an alignment should be done on your vehicle, but it is also important to know why it should be done. When the wheels are aligned on your vehicle, it can help it to operate efficiently as you drive.

 

 

The vehicle will not have to use extra power or fuel that would help correct the wheels. If you notice your vehicle is getting pool mileage, it may be an indication that the wheels need to be realigned. When the wheels are aligned, all four tires are measured and set. This is based on the specific settings from the vehicle manufacturer. Accuracy and precision of this equipment minimizes accelerated tire wear and reduced fuel economy to the vehicle.

 

Having the wheels aligned takes precision and focus and the time needed will vary based on the current condition of your ride. If your alignment is off by even a tiny fraction of a degree, it can mean trouble for your vehicle. We would be happy to set up a wheel alignment service time that fits your schedule and your vehicle’s needs. Having an alignment done can help improve the overall condition of the vehicle. The misalignment of any steering or suspension angle could mean a lot of accelerated wear to your tires.

 

Vehicles are more advanced and precise than ever before. It is only logical that we expect more from these newer, more expensive and complex vehicles. Maintaining the ride and performance demands all your wheels, not just the front wheels, are always working together, not against one another. For that to happen, modern vehicles must be properly aligned, and that now includes the back wheels. Where the rear wheels are pointed will determine where the front wheels are pointed. A two-wheel alignment is so last century, and with that, gone are the days of the two-wheel alignment. In order to perform a proper alignment, it is essential that we adjust the front wheels to compensate for any potential thrust angle from the back tires.

 

A part of your steering or suspension can be worn or even broken. There are a lot more parts than you think working to keep your vehicle headed in the right direction. There is a lot going on during a wheel alignment. Although we will line your tires up to the exact manufacturer specified angles, along the way, parts that ensure proper alignment can wear out and become a major issue for the drivability and continued alignment of your ride. Steering and suspension play a major role in keeping your alignment set, but if a part on your steering or suspension is worn out or broken, your alignment cannot be properly set without replacing the part.
