Tire Alignment in Union

How Do Wheel Alignments Work?

The purpose of a wheel alignment is to square the car's wheels and axles with each other so that they can move in the same direction. Our service team adjusts the four main parts of suspension angles - the toe, thrust, camber, and caster - to help influence tire movement and position for your ideal vehicle performance.

Why Do You Need a Wheel Alignment?

The wheel alignment isn't designed so much to fix your wheels, but rather to adjust your vehicle's suspension. This alters the way the wheels touch the road and without proper service, a misaligned setup can lead to issues down the road that are easily preventable. If you don't have a wheel alignment performed by our service team, you may have less control over your vehicle, which can result in the inability to prevent accidents or collisions.

There are a few signs you can watch out for that may indicate you need a wheel alignment. They include:

• Uneven Tire Wear: Without proper alignment, your tires will make uneven contact with the road. This can lead to uneven wear and tear, shorter lifespan, and even tire blowouts.
• Vibration in Steering Wheel: When you experience your steering wheel vibrating, this is most likely a sign that your front wheels aren't aligned.
• Your Vehicle Pulls to the Left or Right: If you're driving straight but your vehicle pulls to the left or right, this can indicate an issue with your wheel alignment. You can also check this by putting your wheels on a straight road and seeing if the wheel is off-center.
