Why You Need a Wheel Alignment

Winter is almost over! That means easier driving for all of us, less sliding, less braking, and less stress. Hopefully, you made it through the ice and snow with little or no difficulty. Can you say the same about your vehicle’s alignment? Most drivers don’t realize that winter weather can take a big toll on your vehicle’s wheel alignment. In fact, its the leading cause of most alignment issues.

Wheel Alignment Maintenance

What Causes Alignment Issues?

There are many factors that can cause your wheels to get out of sync. A leading cause is adverse road conditions like you see in winter months. Driving over piles of snow, sliding on ice, and hitting potholes is a sure way to knock your wheels off center. Poor wheel alignment is a cause for concern. It can shorten the life of your tires, adversely affect your fuel economy, and cause you to lose traction against the road surface.

Excessive braking can also cause alignment issues. Nothing makes you use your brakes more than winter roads. If your brakes are gripping more on one rotor rather than the other, braking can pull on your vehicle’s suspension and cause misalignment.

How Do I Know I Need a Wheel Alignment?

Here at United Tire & Service, we recommend an alignment check every spring. It’s good preventative maintenance and a good way to ensure your vehicle is performing at it’s best. However, there are a few signs of poor alignment to look out for.

  • Poor Steering
  • Uneven Wear on Tires
  • Squealing While Turning
  • Excessive Vibrations
  • Drifting While Braking

Where Can I Get a Wheel Alignment Near Me?

If you notice any of these signs in your vehicle make sure to have your alignment checked soon. United Tire & Service would be glad to perform a wheel alignment on your vehicle today. Ensure your wheels are in sync after harsh winter driving, save your tires, and improve your fuel economy. Schedule your wheel alignment today!
