What Is a Wheel Alignment?
Wheel alignment involves adjusting several suspension components back to the manufacturer’s specifications. During an alignment service, our technicians will correct the angles at which your wheels contact the road.
Wheel alignment primarily involves three key measurements:
- Toe: This measurement determines how much your front or rear wheels are turned outward if you look at the wheels above the vehicle.
- Caster: This angle identifies the forward or backward slope of a line drawn through the upper and lower steering pivot points. While caster doesn’t impact the tire’s wear and tire, it does dictate the amount of directional control when maneuvering.
- Camber: This would represent the inward or outward angle of your wheel assembly and tire if you were standing at the front of your vehicle looking at it.
We use state-of-the-art tools to measure each angle. Once we have the measurements, we will restore them to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Why Is a Wheel Alignment Important?
Proper wheel alignment is paramount to the safety and performance of your vehicle. It contributes to:
- A smoother, better ride
- Optimized fuel efficiency
- Reduced automotive repairs
- Improved steering and handling
- Extended tire life
How Do You Know You Need a Wheel Alignment?
When you need a wheel alignment, your vehicle may offer distinct signs and indications things are awry.
- Vehicle pulling to one side when driving (this is the most obvious sign)
- Excessive wear and tear on your tires
- Tires wearing unevenly
- Excessive vibration in the steering wheel whenever speeding up
- The steering wheel not centered even though the wheels are straight
If you notice any of these signs, scheduling a wheel inspection and alignment at Modern Auto Service makes sense. The worst thing you can do is to ignore these signs. Failure to address these indicators can expedite tire wear, negatively impact other suspension parts, and lead to more expensive repairs.
