Wheel Alignment
Learn More About Wheel Alignment
Is your vehicle pulling to the side? That’s just one possible sign that it needs a wheel alignment. Letting this problem go can cause excessive wear and tear on your tires — and shorten their lifespan!
At Speck Hyundai of Tri-Cities, our Kennewick dealership offers this service. Let’s take a closer look at what it involves, when to get it, and why it’s so important.
What Is Wheel Alignment?
Did you know that this doesn’t actually mean aligning your tires? It refers to making adjustments to your vehicle’s suspension system. Our technicians change your tires’ angles during this service.
What does the suspension system have to do with your tires? Your wheels and suspension are directly linked. When the alignment’s off, this ends up affecting your tires and steering.
When Does Your Vehicle Need It?
How do you know if it’s time to have an alignment done? Watch for signs that indicate you need to schedule service, such as the following:
- Your tires are showing uneven wear and tear on the treads
- Your steering wheel shakes or vibrates
- Your car keeps pulling to one side or the other
- Your steering wheel isn’t centered — even while you drive straight
Notice any of these signs? Bring your car, truck or SUV to us when you can to have us adjust the suspension system!
Why Is Wheel Alignment Important?
What happens if you put off having this service done? You’re going to need to replace your tires much sooner than you anticipated. Having problems with the suspension system means your wheels aren’t at the proper angles — resulting in increased wear on the treads.
This service also provides you with the following benefits:
- Better handling
- Improved braking performance
- Enhanced safety
- Better fuel efficiency
- Less road noise
You’ll also benefit from cost savings! Properly aligned tires mean they’ll last longer. You’ll also save money on fuel costs with better efficiency.
How Often Do You Need It?
Is this service similar to oil changes and tire rotations, where you should have it done every so often? Yes, it’s an important part of ensuring your vehicle runs smoothly and safely with a lower risk of problems.
You can have wheel alignment done each time you have your tires rotated. But you may need to have it done sooner if:
- You’ve been driving more often
- You’ve been driving on rough terrain
- You hit a curb or other object that might throw off the alignment
What to Expect With This Service
Our technicians check your vehicle’s alignment and adjust the tire angles as needed. Not sure if you need this service? We provide free alignment checks when you pull into the service drive! If it turns out you need it, we’ll use a specialized machine to get this done.
