Wheel Alignment

Wheel Alignment Service

Wheel alignment is the process of making sure that the wheels of a vehicle are routinely adjusted to the manufacturer's specifications, so that the car drives straight without pulling to either side. When you bring your car in for an alignment, the mechanic is checking the camber, castor, and toe angles of the wheel which determine the stability of the wheels related to each other and how well the wheels maintain contact with the surface of the road. Keeping these angles in proper alignment makes the car safer and more fuel efficient by keeping even pressure on the tires and lessening road surface resistance. At Scott's Auto Center our mechanics make it easy to incorporate wheel alignments into your maintenance routine. Contact us today to set up either of our wheel alignment services!

How do you know if you need a repair?

Sometimes the signs of a misaligned vehicle are obvious. A vehicle that pulls to one side when the steering wheel is straight, a steering wheel that has an odd vibration or one that doesn't return to center, and or odd wear patterns on the vehicle's tires are all signs that your car requires an alignment. However, the best method for determining if a vehicle is misaligned is to schedule an appointment with a technician who can run the necessary diagnostic tests.

What may cause the problem and how can you prevent it?

The causes of a misaligned car result from hitting potholes, bumps, and curbs in the road. The best method to prevent an unaligned car is to practice safe a cautious driving. The less curbs hit, the more potholes dodged, and ability of going over bumps slowly will aid in the prevention of going off alignment.

More About Wheel Alignment:

Two Wheel: A two wheel alignment is most appropriate for vehicles that aren't four-wheel or all-wheel drive. This alignment with make sure that the rear wheels are parallel to the front axle and perpendicular to the car's center ensuring that the car drives straight.

Four Wheel: A four wheel alignment is part of the proper maintenance of all wheel drive vehicles and front wheel drive vehicles with independent or adjustable rear suspensions. A four wheel alignment will ensure that the tires are parallel and perpendicular with their respective counterparts so that the car runs smoothly and the tires wear evenly.
