Why is Wheel Alignment Necessary Maintenance?
Unfortunately, if you drive around with misaligned wheels, your tires will wear down much faster and require replacement sooner than with proper alignment. Poor alignment can wear down the suspension system as well. A vehicle with poor alignment has worse handling, and the tires can make an unpleasant squealing noise.
However, the most concerning problem with poor alignment is the safety risks it causes by damaging your tires. When the tires wear down, they don’t get as good of a grip on the road, which is extremely important for stopping and controlling in wet driving conditions.
How Can I Tell if I Need Alignment Services?
Sometimes, the signs are obvious: the tires themselves can have visible wear, or the vehicle may feel like it’s pulling to the left or right in motion when the wheel is straight. However, these signs often show up late: according to an extensive vehicle study, only 13% of misaligned wheels show tire wear. A proper inspection is the best way to detect problems early.
How Often Should I Have My Alignment Checked?
While manufacturer recommendations can vary from model to model, it’s a good idea to have your vehicle’s alignment checked around every 6,000 miles or your vehicle’s tire rotation interval. If you don’t drive a lot, you still should get it checked yearly. Generally, vehicles need alignment work every two or three years, but alignment issues can arise sooner.
