Signs your vehicle may need a wheel alignment
If you've noticed that your steering is off-center when driving on a straight road, this can be a sign that your wheels are out of alignment. Another sign is if you notice your vehicle pulling in a particular direction or if you notice uneven wear on the tread of your tires.
How often should your vehicle have the wheel alignment checked?
Ideally, you want your wheels realigned when you have new tires put on your Ford. When you bring your Ford into service here at Dutro Ford Lincoln Inc., we can inspect the tires and other components and make recommendations when needed. But if you notice any signs that your wheels are out of alignment, it's a good idea to bring your vehicle in immediately for wheel alignment services. If you're getting ready for the next season, especially in winter, it's a good idea to get your tires checked out and have realignment performed so that you can drive safely.
Wheel Alignment vs. Balancing
Wheel alignment focuses on your Ford vehicle's suspension system to ensure that your wheels are aligned properly. Tire balancing, on the other hand, looks at the weight distribution of your tires. We can add tire weights to the wheels to ensure that the wheels are properly balanced, and both services can benefit your Ford vehicle.
Common causes of misaligned wheels
Bad wheel alignment can be caused by several things, such as hitting a curb or driving over a pothole. If you've been in a recent minor collision, it can also be a good time to check the wheel alignment and other systems to ensure everything is running correctly.
Benefits of Wheel Alignment Services
Proper wheel alignment can help your tires last longer by ensuring they're wearing out evenly. Improper alignment can have an impact on your fuel efficiency and handling. Proper wheel alignment can help ensure you have a smoother driving experience and can help make sure you have fewer auto repairs in the future caused by misalignment.
