Important questions
about wheel alignment

Q. How important is wheel alignment?
A. Research indicates that the average car is driven about 12,000 miles per year. A car with toe adjustment just 0.34 degrees (just .17 inches) out of specification has dragged its tires sideways for more than 68 miles by the end of the year!

Q. What are the "symptoms" that a car is out of alignment?
A. Have your car checked if you notice:
-Excessive or uneven tire wear
-Steering wheel pulls to the left or right
-Feeling of looseness or wandering
-Steering wheel is not centered when
car is moving straight ahead

Q. How often should I have my car aligned?
A. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations noted in your owner’s manual. But, as a general rule, have your vehicle's alignment checked every 10,000 miles or at least once a year.

Having your vehicle’s wheels properly aligned is one of the most important things you can do to ensure you get the most out of your tires.

Wheel alignment consists of a series of inter-related measurements and adjustments that bring a vehicle’s steering, suspension and on-road driving characteristics into manufacturer’s specifications. Proper wheel alignment does four things:

1. Reduces tire wear
2. Improves fuel economy
3. Improves handling
4. Increases driving safety
