An alignment is needed when uneven tire wear is identified. This is a sure sign the vehicle’s suspension needs to be adjusted. During an alignment the structure connecting the vehicle to its wheels (suspension) is straightened. After the vehicle is aligned, the wheels are straight with the tires in the center of the wheel wells. While you drive away the tire angles are now in their original position as they carry you down the road, allowing optimal vehicle performance.
A good rule of thumb to follow is to get an alignment during each tire change and rotation. Our Quick Lane advisors and technicians can set you up with our state-of-the-art alignment rack. Call our Quick Lane to make an appointment for your vehicle's alignment at (319) 895-8500.
