    What is a 4-Wheel Alignment?

    When manufacturers ship new vehicles, their tires are in perfect alignment. Each tire has been positioned in the correct angle and relationship with the other tires. After the vehicle has been driven, the tires will move slightly out of this positioning. The prime causes are poor road conditions and parking bumpers. When a tire hits a bump or pothole, it loses a little bit of the alignment. While not noticeable at first, as it worsens, the misalignment can cause hazardous driving conditions. A simple wheel alignment fixes this. Vehicle’s with misaligned tires will pull to one side. You will notice yourself continually turning wheel to correct the direction. This push-pull action causes the tires to wear unevenly and makes the engine work harder. A 4-wheel alignment corrects the position of all four tires. During the alignment, the technician may recommend taking the opportunity to rotate the tires, as well. Both services extend the life of the tires by causing them to wear more evenly. Expect to have an alignment every 10,000 miles or so based on the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule. 

    Why Are Alignments Needed?
    Tires that are misaligned develop uneven wear patterns and force the engine to work harder. Not only will the life span of the tires by shorted, they can develop weak or bulging spots on the sidewalls. These can blow out under pressure and represent a very unsafe driving situation. Also, misaligned tires place additional burdens on the axle and CV joint. This can develop into real issues. The alignment will not only save the tires, it will improve the vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
