Frequently Asked Questions

How Can I Verify if My Tire Alignment is Done Correctly?
After an alignment, drive your vehicle on a straight road with minimal traffic. Gradually lift your hands off the steering wheel. If the car wanders left or right, the alignment isn’t done correctly.
What Should I Check While Driving to Assess Alignment?
While driving straight, note any vibrations or pulling in the steering wheel or seat. Ensure the steering wheel is centered and not crooked.
Can I Check Alignment at Home?
Yes! Use a tape measure to check toe-in alignment. Measure the distances between the front and rear tires. If the measurements differ by more than 1/4 inch, it may indicate misalignment.
Why Does My Car Still Pull After Alignment?
There are several reasons why your car might still pull after an alignment:

  • Incorrect Alignment: Even if recently aligned, it might not have been done correctly. Double-check with a trusted mechanic.
  • Other Factors: Tire wear, suspension issues, or uneven road surfaces can affect alignment.
How Often Should I Get an Alignment?
Some vehicles need regular checks, while others require alignment every two years or less. Vehicle type also determines alignment frequency.
What’s the Impact of Bad Alignment?

Poor alignment can lead to several issues:

  • Poor Handling: Your vehicle may become difficult to control, affecting safety.
  • Tire Wear: Misalignment causes uneven tire tread wear, reducing tire lifespan and safety. Regular alignments ensure better handling and extend tire life, saving you money in the long run.
What’s a Wheel Alignment Report?
It provides raw alignment numbers (e.g., camber, toe, caster). It helps assess accuracy and identify adjustments needed.
What Causes Alignment Issues?

Several factors can cause alignment issues:

  • Potholes and Bumps: Hitting potholes or bumps can knock wheels out of alignment.
  • Worn Suspension Components: Damaged shocks or struts can affect alignment.
  • Regular Wear: Over time, normal driving can gradually shift alignment. Regular maintenance and avoiding road hazards can help maintain proper alignment.

 

Can I Drive with Bad Alignment?
Driving with bad alignment is possible for short distances, but it is not recommended for the long term. Poor alignment can cause excessive tire wear, affecting safety and handling. Over time, it can also damage suspension and steering components, leading to costly repairs. It’s best to address alignment issues promptly to avoid these problems.
How Do I Read a Wheel Alignment Report?
Understand terms like camber (tilt), toe (inward/outward), and caster (steering axis angle). Compare values to recommended ranges for your vehicle.
