A wheel alignment is important for several reasons:
Tire Longevity: Proper alignment helps ensure that your tires wear evenly, extending their lifespan. Misalignment can cause uneven tread wear, leading to premature tire replacement.
Improved Handling: When your wheels are aligned correctly, your vehicle will handle better, making it easier to steer and control, especially at higher speeds or during turns.
Fuel Efficiency: Misaligned wheels can increase rolling resistance, which can reduce fuel efficiency. Proper alignment can help you get better mileage.
Safety: Misalignment can affect your vehicle's stability and handling, which can be dangerous, especially in adverse weather conditions. Proper alignment helps keep your vehicle stable on the road.
Preventative Maintenance: Regular alignments can catch other issues early on, potentially saving you from more costly repairs down the line.
If you notice your steering wheel pulling to one side, uneven tire wear, or if you frequently feel vibrations, it might be time for an alignment.
