Wheel Alignment

Wheel alignments are the specific adjustments made to your vehicle's suspension to optimize ride, handling and steering characteristics. Each manufacturer specifies precise settings to achieve the maximum performance from their vehicle. Maintaining the factory-specified suspension setting will make your car safer and easier to drive. Steering pull, unsteady or loose steering or hard steering can be caused by misalignment conditions. A properly aligned vehicle can save you money! Misalignment conditions can cause accelerated tire wear, poor fuel economy and excessive wear on other suspension and steering parts. Whenever you impact a curb or pothole hard, the alignment should be checked before unusual tire wear is detected, (edge wear, diagonal wear, cupping wear ) which may result in premature tire replacement. Steering or handling problems such as ( loose steering, steering wheel off center, steering changes direction after hitting bumps ) are also signs of mis-alignment. The installation of new tires or worn steering and suspension parts should always be accompanied by a wheel alignment to help protect your tire investment. Checking the wheel alignment as part of routine annual maintenance can significantly increase suspension parts and tire life, saving you money down the line.
