Wheel alignments help provide optimal tire wear and vehicle handling
During a 4-wheel alignment at Auto Clinic, alignment specialists measure and correct wheel angles so they're set to vehicle manufacturer specifications. They also:
- * Ensure proper placement of weight around all tires and rim assemblies
- * Completely inspect steering and suspension systems
- * Adjust wheel angles so they’re perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other
Why is a wheel alignment important for my vehicle?
- * Proper wheel alignments can help improve your driver safety, create a smoother ride, and help increase fuel efficiency
- * Alignments could save you hundreds of dollars on replacing tires due to premature treadwear
When should I bring my vehicle in for a wheel alignment?
Most manufacturers recommend getting a 4-wheel alignment at least once a year. Other times you may need a front-end or 4-wheel alignment include:
- * After purchasing a set of new Goodyear tires
- * After a collision, accident, or hitting a large pothole
- * When replacing suspension or steering parts
- * If you feel your vehicle pulling to one side when driving
- * If your steering feels unstable or you feel a vibration
- * If your tires are wearing unevenly or squeal on turns
