Benefits of Wheel Alignment

Properly aligned tyres will track straight and true, which not only helps with gas mileage, it also maximizes the life of the tire. In regards to safety, an aligned tire will not pull to the right or the left. Your vehicle will also drive more smoothly with tyres that are properly aligned. Properly aligned tires achieve maximum traction on slippery surfaces which can be important when driving in less than ideal conditions.

Types of Wheel Alignments

There are three different types of wheel alignment available at most  shops. Front end alignment is exactly what it sounds like. The front wheels of the vehicle are aligned. A thrust angle alignment deals with the alignment of the rear axle. Four wheel alignment is performed on all wheel drive vehicles as well as front wheel drive cars. It makes adjustments to both the front and real axles.

 

How Often Should You Get Your Wheels Aligned?

As a general rule you should follow your owners manual recommendations, but it is a good idea to have your tires and alignment checked every 10,000 Kms or so. If your car is pulling to one side, the tires are wearing unevenly, the vehicle is shimming or wandering, then you should have the vehicle checked immediately. Over time a vehicle will go out of alignment. Hitting a deep pothole can often throw a vehicle out of alignment as well.
