It’s easy to know when your car needs basic auto care based on the sounds the vehicle makes. But a problem like wheel alignment can be more insidious, and if you don’t know what to look for, you could be causing faster wear and tear on your tires, and affecting the safety of you and your passengers.
You’ve Been in An Accident
Any time your car has sustained an impact, even sliding into a curb on wet roads, the wheels can be affected. It’s worth having a mechanic check it out to ensure the alignment doesn’t need adjustment, or you could end up with additional damage.
You Have to Keep the Wheel Past Center to Drive Straight
Many alignment changes occur so slowly that you may not even realize they’re happening. But next time you drive, see if your vehicle starts to pull left or right when you keep the wheel centered at 12 o’clock. If so, it’s likely the alignment causing it.
Your Tires Wear Out Too Soon
Ideally, your tires have consistent contact with the road. Poor alignment causes the surface of the tire to lose that consistency, and one part of the tire will typically wear faster. If you’re replacing tires sooner than four years or 50,000, the alignment could be a cause.
