Have you noticed a bumpier ride than usual, or is your vehicle pulling to the left or right slightly? If so, you may be in need of a wheel alignment. It is customary to have an alignment performed when you get your tires changed to ensure even wear, but having an alignment more often can be very beneficial for your vehicle, ride quality, and tire health.
One lesser known advantage of receiving a wheel alignment is increased fuel efficiency. When your wheels aren’t properly aligned, your engine must work harder to propel your vehicle forward, using more fuel. Receiving regular alignments can also extend the life of other suspension components of your vehicle. Having anything out of whack can cause a domino effect, so staying on top of regular, preventative maintenance can save you money on potential repair costs.
Another big benefit of wheel alignment is a smoother ride in your vehicle; your car will track straight and shouldn’t have any vibration in the steering wheel beyond what is caused by the road surface. Additionally, alignments will extend the life of your tires. A vehicle that isn’t aligned will have uneven wear on the tires that can lead to premature replacement.
