What is Wheel Alignment?
Wheel alignment adjusts the angles of your tires so they contact the road correctly. Misalignment is common after hitting a pothole or curb, and causes rapid tire wear and pulling. A four-wheel alignment is recommended after any suspension work or if the steering wheel is off-centre.
Signs you need this repair
- Car pulls left or right
- Steering wheel off-centre on straight road
- Rapid or uneven tire wear
- Vibration at highway speeds
- Recently hit a pothole or curb
