What's a Tire Alignment?
Your car's tires require periodic adjustments of their angles to meet manufacturer specifications. This is vital to reducing your tire wear, adhering to performance specifications, and confirming your vehicle is following a straight track. The angles that require evaluation and adjustment are the camber, caster, and toe.Â
Improperly aligned wheels compromise drivers' abilities to travel the open road safely. When your tires are aligned correctly, the benefits include improved fuel efficiency, optimized handling, and increased tire performance.Â
How Often Should I Check My Wheel Alignment
The usual recommendation is that drivers have your alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. This recommendation varies based on your personal driving style, typical driving conditions, and manufacturer recommendations. Warning indicators that your car may require a wheel alignment include:
Steering wheel is crooked when driving straight
Car is pulling to the left or right
Rapid or uneven tire wear
Tires squealing
