Wheel Alignment in Burton, MI
An Overview of Wheel Alignment
What Is It?
Although it’s best practice to have us check your automobile’s wheel alignment periodically, some noteworthy signs tell you there’s likely a problem. The most obvious is uneven tire wear. If the treads are worn significantly more in some areas than others, your car has a wheel alignment issue. It results from uneven contact with the road when the suspension angles are off. Another concern is your car pulling to one side as you drive. Also, you may notice that the steering wheel doesn’t appear centered. The wheel may vibrate, increasing in intensity as your speed increases. Some drivers even report the steering wheel feeling loose in their hands. You may also notice that your car handles differently than it used to as you apply brakes, take curves, or turn corners. Another troubling sign is a high-pitched singing sound from the tires as you drive. If you notice any of these, we’ll use our computerized equipment to make accurate measurements while your automobile is on the alignment rack. We’ll push and pull the impacted suspension areas until everything is back within the automaker’s allowable tolerances, restoring your vehicle to proper form and function.
