The Importance Of Vehicle Alignment

Home|Archives forTires

Vehicle alignment is extremely vital for your car to work properly. Alignment involves keeping the tires of your car even on the road so that your vehicle does not get damaged and you and your passengers are not jolted every time the car runs over a bump in the road. Alignment is also important for helping your car move in the right direction, as it keeps the wheels pointed the same way. Continue reading to learn more about tire alignment and what causes your wheels to become misaligned.

The simple answer to whether vehicle alignment is necessary is yes. As previously mentioned, having good alignment will allow you to drive comfortably and for your wheels to move in synchronization with each other. However, there are several other important reasons why your vehicle needs to be properly aligned. Without proper alignment, you will be unable to steer the car in your desired direction because the wheels will not be in sync. When your car is properly aligned, you will experience better gas mileage, a more comfortable ride, and longer life for your tires.

Unfortunately, it is challenging to tell when a tire is misaligned simply by looking at it. We at Shadetree Automotive suggest taking your car to the mechanic when you suspect that there may be a problem with your car’s alignment.

Following are several other times when it might be a good idea to get your alignment checked. 

  • When you are getting new tires
  • The mechanic is replacing or adjusting parts of the suspension
  • You have recently been in an accident
  • Whenever your vehicle is in for basic services
  • There is uneven tire wear
  • Your wheel naturally wants to turn in one direction over another
  • You are getting your car lifted or lowered

The most common example of car misalignment is when your vehicle begins drifting away from the center when you do not have control of the wheel. The second most common indicator of misalignment is when your tires begin to wear unevenly. If one of your tires begins to look more worn out than another, you should take your car to the mechanic as soon as possible. There are other potential causes for drifting and worn-out tires, but these are good signs to look out for to ensure that further damage is not caused to your vehicle.

Several different occurrences could potentially cause your car’s alignment to be lost. With time and the driving conditions that your car experiences, vehicle misalignment is almost inevitable, which is why we suggest getting your car looked at every year or so. As previously mentioned, it is a good idea to get your vehicle checked when changing out tires.

However, the reason why this is important is that even rotating your tires can cause misalignment. Lastly, if your vehicle experiences some sort of impact, it is possible that it can be thrown out of alignment. If you drive over a curb, pothole, or some other road blockage, make sure to take your car into the shop to ensure that the alignment is correct.
