A Guide to Tire Alignment
At Family Ford of Bluffton, we understand the importance of proper tire alignment for a smooth and safe driving experience. This guide explains why tire alignment matters, how it impacts your vehicle, the signs of misalignment, and why regular checks are essential for your vehicle's longevity and performance.
What is Tire Alignment?
Tire alignment, or wheel alignment, adjusts the angles of your vehicle's suspension to ensure the tires make proper contact with the road. This helps prevent uneven tire wear and ensures your vehicle drives straight without pulling to one side. Proper alignment enhances handling, fuel efficiency, and offers a smoother ride.
Why Tire Alignment is Essential
Tire alignment is crucial for several reasons. First, it extends the life of your tires by preventing uneven wear, saving you money on replacements. It also improves fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance, leading to better gas mileage. Proper alignment ensures better vehicle handling, boosting safety on the road. Plus, it reduces strain on suspension components, helping to avoid costly repairs.
How to Spot Misalignment
Spotting signs of misalignment early is key to maintaining your vehicle’s health and safety. If your car pulls to one side or if you notice uneven tire wear, it’s likely that your wheels are out of alignment. A crooked steering wheel when driving straight is another common sign. If you feel vibrations in the steering wheel or the car itself, it’s a good indication that your alignment needs attention.
Promptly addressing misalignment issues through professional alignment services helps maintain proper steering, extends tire life, and ensures you stay safe on the road.
When to Get an Alignment Check
Regular tire alignment checks are essential to keeping your vehicle in top condition. We recommend having your alignment checked every 12,000 miles or at least once a year. If you've recently hit a large pothole or curb, it’s wise to check your alignment to prevent further issues. When installing new tires, aligning your wheels ensures even wear and a smoother ride. Staying on top of alignment checks can improve your vehicle's handling, extend tire life, and even help you save on fuel.
