Wheel Alignment Service: Now Is The Time To Prepare When all of your vehicle’s wheels are lined up exactly with each other, your wheels are in alignment. Hitting a road hazard or even just the normal bumps and bounces of everyday driving can cause your vehicles wheels to become out of alignment. Here are some alignment basics from NORTH WELLS SERVICE CENTER: The first adjustment is called toe or do the wheels point in towards each other or away from each other at the front of the tire. The next adjustment is called camber or do the wheels tip in or out at the top. And finally, there is castor. Castor measures the angle where the front axles attach to the vehicle. The ideal alignment for your vehicle was designed by its engineers. Alignment service at NORTH WELLS SERVICE CENTER starts with an inspection of the steering and suspension – to see if anything’s bent or broken. Then your Caring,Friendly,Honest NORTH WELLS SERVICE CENTER technician will look at tire condition. From there, the vehicle is put on an alignment rack and an initial alignment reading is taken. The wheels are then aligned to vehicle manufacturers’s specifications. Driving for an extended time when your wheels are out of alignment results in uneven tire wear. This is can become dangerous … and expensive. Worst case scenario, you have a blowout on a crowded Indiana interstate. It also causes premature wear to your suspension system, which can be somewhat expensive to repair. At the very least, you may have to replace your tires too early. Your owner’s manual probably has a recommendation for how often your alignment should be checked – usually every 2 years or 15,000 miles. .If you suspect an alignment problem, get it checked at NORTH WELLS SERVICE CENTER before you suffer expensive tire or suspension damage.
