Proper Alignment Depends on More Than Adjustments

A vehicle that pulls or wears tires unevenly does not always need alignment adjustments alone. Incorrect tire pressure, damaged tires and worn steering or suspension components can create similar symptoms.

Our technicians inspect related conditions before performing the alignment. If worn or damaged components prevent an accurate adjustment, we will explain the findings and recommend the appropriate repair first.

  • Steering wheel sits off-center
  • Uneven or rapid tire wear
  • Vehicle feels unstable at highway speeds
  • Steering does not return smoothly after turning

Sudden steering changes or severe instability? Stop driving when it is safe and contact us. The problem may involve damaged steering, suspension, wheel or tire components.

Common Causes of Alignment Problems

  • Pothole or curb impacts

  • Worn shocks or struts
  • Bent steering or suspension components
  • Sagging or damaged springs
  • Incorrect tire pressure

Because pulling and uneven tire wear can have several causes, related steering, suspension, and tire conditions should be checked before alignment adjustments are made.

  • Checking tire condition and inflation pressure
  • Inspecting visible steering and suspension components
  • Positioning the vehicle on alignment equipment

  • Making available alignment adjustments
  • Centering the steering wheel
  • Verifying final measurements
  • Road testing the vehicle when appropriate

What are the signs that my vehicle needs a wheel alignment?
Common signs include pulling, an off-center steering wheel, uneven tire wear, wandering and handling changes after hitting a pothole or curb.
There is no universal interval. Consider an inspection when symptoms develop, after a significant impact, when installing new tires or after certain steering and suspension repairs.
Proper alignment can help prevent additional alignment-related wear, but it cannot restore tread that is already worn. Tire condition should also be inspected.
Alignment can change because of potholes, curb impacts, worn steering or suspension components, damaged parts or normal component settling.
Yes. We will explain the findings, provide repair recommendations and review the available options before completing authorized work.
Pulling may also be caused by tire pressure, tire construction, uneven tire wear, brake drag, road slope or worn steering and suspension components.
A front-end alignment measures and adjusts the front wheels when appropriate. A four-wheel alignment measures all four wheels and makes the adjustments available for the vehicle’s design.
Yes. Worn tie rods, ball joints, bushings, control arms, springs and other components can prevent the alignment from being adjusted or maintained correctly.
An alignment is not automatically required, but checking it can help protect the new tires—especially if the previous tires had uneven wear or the vehicle pulls.
Service time depends on the vehicle, current measurements and whether worn or damaged components are found. We will explain any condition that affects completion.
