It also allows them to wear evenly across the tread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend alignments once a year, when you get new tires, or after suspension work is performed on a vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Other ways wheel alignments help<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Making sure tires last and wear the way they should aren\u2019t the only perks of tire alignments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through this process, our mechanics are able to see if your vehicle\u2019s steering capability is accurate and make sure the safety features are in good working order.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alignments can help improve a vehicle\u2019s fuel efficiency, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/benefits-wheel-alignments\/\"><strong>This article we shared<\/strong><\/a> talks more about the benefits of this maintenance option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Signs that you need a wheel alignment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We mentioned before that alignments are needed every year or when certain repairs are done. But a bad wheel alignment may also be revealed through a few symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The alignment may need to be adjusted if you notice that the steering wheel appears crooked or uncentered. With the electronics on today&#8217;s vehicles, there could be a steering wheel sensor reset needed. So, the alignment could be correct, but if the sensor isn\u2019t done correctly (or at all) it could cause the steering wheel to be crooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feeling as though the car is pulling to one side is another indicator to watch out for. (However, it\u2019s important to note if this is happening regularly or just on certain roads. It could just be how a road or certain section of it is designed.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uneven tire wear can also be a sign that you need an alignment. This could be due to the toe and\/or camber setting being out of specification. Over a period of time, that can either cause the edges of the tires to wear out or even get a wavy pattern on the tire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Performing wheel alignments<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most cars nowadays require a four-wheel alignment. Even though most pickup trucks require a two-wheel alignment, it\u2019s a good idea to make sure all the wheels are checked. This will ensure that something isn\u2019t bent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Tire-alignment-on-Hyundai-Tucson.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Tire-alignment-on-Hyundai-Tucson-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Tire alignment on Hyundai Tucson.\" class=\"wp-image-2025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Tire-alignment-on-Hyundai-Tucson-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Tire-alignment-on-Hyundai-Tucson-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Tire-alignment-on-Hyundai-Tucson-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Tire-alignment-on-Hyundai-Tucson-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Tire-alignment-on-Hyundai-Tucson-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Tire-alignment-on-Hyundai-Tucson-793x595.jpg 793w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Tire-alignment-on-Hyundai-Tucson-1080x810.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Tire-alignment-on-Hyundai-Tucson.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tire alignment being performed on a Hyundai Tucson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A qualified technician will be able to see if the castor, camber and toe are within specifications.
