Signs Your Vehicle May Need an Alignment

Signs Your Vehicle May Need an Alignment

When your vehicle is properly aligned, all of your wheels will point in the same direction. Your vehicle will drive straight and handle the way it is designed to. 

How do my wheels get out of alignment?

Your wheels can get “knocked” out of alignment if you have an accident or hit a pothole or curb.  While these are the main culprits to misalignment, normal, everyday driving takes a toll on wheel alignment as well.  It is recommended to have the alignment check once a year.

How do I know if my car is out of alignment?

Thankfully there are signs that will tell you if your vehicle needs an alignment.  Your steering wheel may be off-center, or your vehicle may pull to one side of the road or the other.  This will cause you to counter-steer to correct it, causing your tires to wear uneven.  When a wheel is out of alignment, you can wear out a tire very quickly.

How do I fix my alignment if it is knocked out?

An alignment inspection will allow the technician to see what repairs or adjustments are needed to get your vehicle back into alignment.  When doing an alignment inspection, the technician will inspect the tires for uneven wear, as well as check over the steering and suspension parts for signs of wear or damage.

If your wheels are out of alignment, Hilltop Tire Service is known in the area for expert alignment technicians with many years of experience that will get your vehicle driving straight and your tires wearing evenly!
