Wheel Alignment & Maintenance Explained
Wheel alignment describes the camber, caster, and toe-in angles where the wheel assemblies meet the steering/suspension components. When wheels are in alignment, the wheels are pointed straight, opposite wheels are parallel, and the tires grip the road properly. The problem with wheel alignment is that the wheel angles do not remain at specifications. Alignment is affected by road incidents, such as hitting potholes, nudging curbs while parking, and steering/suspension component wear and tear. Wheel alignment service measures and adjusts the steering/suspension components to restore camber, caster, and toe-in to factory specifications.
Bad Wheel Alignment Indicators
Bad wheel alignment causes the tires to grip the road improperly. This causes tires to handle an excessive load in certain areas depending upon the misalignment, which causes rapid irregular wear. Bad wheel alignment indicators begin with rapid irregular wear and worsen with time to symptoms related to damaged tires. Here are the bad wheel alignment indicators that should prompt a wheel alignment inspection and corrective alignment service as needed:
- Rapid or uneven tire wear
- Steering wheel is crooked when driving straight
- Pulling toward the side
- Tires squealing
- Vibration or shaking
