Why It Matters
A car’s wheel alignment describes camber, caster, toe, and thrust, the major suspension angles. In short, these angles are formed as a product of the relationships between the auto body and the road and between the wheels. This matters for several reasons. First, they impact your ability to control your vehicle. Second, they affect how well other components stand up to wear. Because of these factors, you should have us check your auto’s wheel alignment periodically. However, there are also signs you may notice that should prompt you to schedule a visit. The most obvious is uneven tire wear. When your car is not in proper alignment, the wheels don’t connect well with the road. As they connect and disconnect repeatedly, the treads wear more in some spots than others. Another noticeable issue may be a pull to one side when you’re trying to drive straight ahead. Similarly, you may see that the steering wheel is crooked or won’t return to center even on level ground. The steering wheel may also shake as you drive. Finally, the tires may emit a high-pitched squealing that is described by some drivers as a singing sound. Your safety and that of your passengers is directly correlated to the amount of time rubber is connecting with the road as well as how well you can steer, particularly in corners and turns.
