As your vehicle’s wheels become misaligned, the tires will wear unevenly, and the car will begin to pull to one side or the other. At this point, your wheels’ alignment becomes a safety issue and needs to be corrected as soon as possible. Although it might be easy enough to drive with, don’t. The car will be using much more gas than it should and wear out tires sooner than expected, each of which is a far more expensive proposition than simply having the alignment adjusted back to how the vehicle was intended to drive.
Most drivers, if they ever consider their cars’ suspension, think of the shocks and struts. Keeping those parts in working order is, in fact, part of maintaining the vehicle’s proper wheel alignment. More importantly, the wheels have to be angled to the road and positioned properly relative to the vehicle’s frame. Because the wheels’ angles are adjustable, they can be thrown out of alignment during a small parking lot fender-bender, or simply running into a curb or pothole during routine daily driving. Misalignment can arise even without a minor accident – wheels become misplaced over time as the vehicle’s tires face the stressors of the road.
Generally, any front-wheel drive model vehicle will require two-wheel alignment services. All-wheel drive will typically need a four-wheel alignment. There are still some trucks and high-performance model cars on the market with rear-wheel drive, and they have their own alignment issues, which tend to be more complicated than the “daily driver” vehicles most people use. Regardless of which system any particular vehicle uses, a wheel alignment is necessary to correct any damage caused by bumps that come with driving.
