As a master automotive technician, I often get asked how to tell if a vehicle needs an alignment. Alignment issues can affect your car’s handling, tire wear, and overall safety, but spotting them early can save you time and money. Here’s a friendly, straightforward guide to help you determine if your car might be in need of an alignment.
(Do Your Tires Look Like This?)
Uneven Tire Wear: Check your tires for unusual patterns. If you notice more wear on one side or the middle compared to the edges, it could be a sign of misalignment.
Steering Wheel Off-Center: When driving straight, your steering wheel should be centered. If it’s off to one side or feels crooked, alignment might be the issue.
Pulling to One Side: If your car drifts or pulls to the left or right while driving on a straight road, it’s a sign that your wheels might not be properly aligned.
Uneven Steering Response: If your car’s steering feels loose or unresponsive, it might be due to alignment problems.
Squealing Tires: A misaligned vehicle can cause tires to squeal as they drag against the road unevenly.
