Wheel alignment is the relationship between suspension and steering angles. Correct geometry helps the vehicle track straight, protects tire life, and keeps steering response predictable.
Signs alignment may be off
A pull, off-center steering wheel, uneven shoulder wear, wandering, or a handling change after a pothole, curb strike, tire replacement, or suspension repair are common reasons to check alignment.
Alignment starts with inspection
Worn ball joints, tie rods, bushings, bearings, or damaged components can prevent an alignment from holding. Inspecting the mechanical parts first helps avoid adjusting around a problem.
Benefits beyond tire wear
Correct alignment can improve straight-line stability, steering feel, rolling resistance, and confidence in wet or winter conditions while helping tires last closer to their intended life.
