How to tell if you need a wheel alignment
Wheel alignments are just one of the many automotive services you may find yourself needing over the course of your vehicle’s lifespan. As you drive over obstacles in the road, hit a few curbs, and encounter a few unsightly potholes, the jarring impact will eventually shift your wheels out of alignment. However, knowing when it’s time for a wheel alignment isn’t as simple as checking the wheels to see if they look crooked. Check out how to tell if you need a wheel alignment!
Signs that you need a wheel alignment
There are a few simple ways to tell if the wheels are misaligned. One thing you can do is check the tread. If the tire tread is worn unevenly, that could be a sign. This happens because of the uneven pressure caused by warped wheel bearings. You can also try letting go of the steering wheel for a couple seconds when driving on a straight road. If you feel the vehicle pull left or right, that’s a sign the wheels may be misaligned, as the vehicle should continue moving straight without you holding the steering wheel. A screeching noise coming from the wheels could be another sign.
