If you’ve ever noticed your vehicle pulling to one side or your steering wheel sitting crooked, you may be dealing with an alignment issue. A wheel alignment is one of the most important and often overlooked services for your vehicle. At Speck Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, our service team is here to keep your vehicle driving straight and performing its best.
What Does a Wheel Alignment Do?
A wheel alignment adjusts the angles of your tires so they make proper contact with the road. Over time, potholes, curbs, and general wear can knock your wheels out of their correct position. When that happens, your vehicle doesn’t drive the way it should. An alignment brings everything back into spec, ensuring your tires wear evenly and your vehicle handles the way it was designed to.
Signs You May Need an Alignment
There are several telltale signs that your alignment may be off. Your vehicle may pull to the left or right when you’re driving straight. Your steering wheel may appear off-center even when driving on a straight road. You might also notice uneven or rapid tire wear, or a vibration in the steering wheel. If any of these sound familiar, it’s a good idea to have your alignment checked as soon as possible.
How Often Should You Get an Alignment?
Most manufacturers recommend having your alignment checked once a year or every 12,000 miles. You should also have it checked any time you hit a significant pothole, curb, or are involved in a minor collision. Getting new tires is another great time to have your alignment inspected. Staying on top of this service helps extend the life of your tires and improves your fuel efficiency.
