UNDERSTANDING WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Description: Wheel alignment consists of a series of interrelated measurements and adjustments that bring a vehicle's steering,
suspension and on-road driving characteristics into manufacturers' specifications.
Purpose: Proper wheel alignment reduces tire wear, improves fuel economy and safe handling.
Maintenance Tips/Suggestions: Have your alignment checked once a year. Normal wear and road conditions can take their toll on
your steering and suspension system, possibly throwing the alignment settings out of specifications. Traditionally, alignments have
always been associated with only the front wheels, but no longer. Consider this: The rear wheels set the direction of vehicle travel;
the front wheels steer the vehicle. Consequently most of today's vehicles call for four wheel alignment. Having all four wheels
aligned ensures directional harmony as your vehicle goes down the road. Some common symptoms of your vehicle needing an
alignment include: uneven tire wear, pulling to one side, wandering, or an off-center steering wheel. Start a routine of annual
alignment checks and you won't have to experience reduced tire life, abnormal tire wear, poor handling or poor steering performance.
While having your the alignment set, it is a perfect opportunity to have the tires and wheels balanced.
