Why is an Alignment Necessary?

An alignment is important because it is responsible for the optimal performance of a car. It affects tire wear, fuel efficiency, vehicle handling, maneuverability, car's steering response, and tire performance.

Causes of a Wheel Misalignment

In most cases, a wheel misalignment is caused by a road, driver, or worn components of a car. Here are the main three reasons why your car may fall out of alignment:

The sudden impact from hitting something, such as a curb or pothole. The wheel can also get misaligned if you drive too fast over a speed bump.
If such suspension components as shocks and struts become worn out or loose, it may also lead to a misalignment.
Car modifications, such as lifting. If you decide to modify the height of your vehicle, it is important to adjust the suspension. Otherwise, there is a high risk of wheel misalignment.

How Often Do You Need a Four-Wheel Alignment?

In most cases, it is recommended to get a wheel alignment every 2-3 years. However, to provide optimal safety to your car, it is better to get the wheels aligned every time you change the oil. The alignment is also recommended after a car accident or after you hit a curb or pothole.
