My Car's Wheel Alignment
A 4-wheel alignment ensures all four wheels on a vehicle are properly aligned, affecting handling, tire life, and fuel efficiency.
A four-wheel alignment is when a technician adjusts the front suspension, steering, and rear suspension to ensure that your car is in alignment. It involves adjusting the angles of the wheels (camber, caster, and toe) to factory specifications, both front and rear, to ensure optimal vehicle performance.
When do I need a wheel alignment?
You should get a car wheel alignment when you notice signs like your car pulling to one side, uneven tire wear, a steering wheel that's off-center while driving straight, vibrations while driving, or if you've recently hit a curb or large pothole, or experienced a significant impact on your wheels. Generally, it's recommended to check alignment every 6,000 to 10,000 miles or after major suspension repairs - also depending on weather and road conditions, like potholes you may hit in between services too!
How do I know the shop actually did the alignment?
You should be provided a printout showing the before and after readings.
Come visit us at Alexander’s Automotive in Loveland for an alignment and peace of mind.
