Is Your Car in Need of a Wheel Alignment?

posted on 7/23/2018 11:09:03 AM
So you’re driving down the road, perhaps with the radio blasting or carrying on a long phone call with a friend, and you accidently hit a large pothole. Your heart lurches for a moment as you tally up potential repair costs, but your mind quickly forgets and focuses back on the road ahead. However, while a simple bump like this might be easy to let go, the damage it can cause could potentially throw your car’s tire alignment out of perfect balance, creating many problems down the line.Wheel Alignment in St. Louis and Collinsville
 

Signs that You Need a Wheel Alignment

  • The vehicle pulls to one side
  • The front end shakes after hitting a bump
  • The steering wheel doesn’t line up straight anymore
  • The steering wheel shakes and vibrates
  • The front tires show signs of uneven wear
 
If any of these issues show up in your car, don’t hesitate to schedule a service appointment with the experts at Master Auto Repair. Only a licensed professional should be the only one to work on your vehicle’s suspension system. A wheel alignment is actually in reference to your car’s suspension – what attaches a vehicle to its wheels. The adjustment is not of the tires or wheels themselves but adjusting the angle that they make contact with the road. This unfortunately makes it a fix you cannot do yourself.
 

Why is Wheel Alignment Important?

More than just the peace of mind of knowing your car is in perfect working order, a wheel alignment:

  • Increases tire longevity by insuring even wear across the tread
  • Makes the vehicle’s handling more comfortable by reducing vibration and drifting around the road
  • Saves you from other more costly repairs in the future
 
Don’t overlook the routine maintenance of your car’s alignment. Call or schedule an appointment online today with the friendly, certified mechanics at one of Master Auto Repair's convenient locations in St. Louis, MO and Collinsville, IL. They can also easily check for steering and suspension concerns, in addition to drive-line issues.
