How Often Should Car Alignment Be Checked?

Regular alignment checks are crucial for maintaining your vehicle's performance and safety. We recommend having your car's alignment checked at least once a year or every 10,000 miles. However, if you frequently drive on rough roads or have recently hit a curb or pothole, it's wise to have it checked sooner.

Signs Your Car Needs an Alignment

There are some stressful situations you can prevent if you are cautious and take proper care of your vehicle. Here are some signs to look out for to know if your car needs an alignment:

  • Your vehicle pulls to one side while driving.
  • The steering wheel is off-center when driving straight.
  • Uneven or rapid tire wear.
  • Vibrations in the steering wheel.

If you notice any of these signs, it's time to schedule an alignment service with us to prevent further damage and ensure your safety on the road!

Benefits of Regular Wheel Alignment

Wheel alignment is crucial for your safety on the road. Misaligned wheels can lead to poor handling, increased stopping distances, and a higher risk of accidents. Ensuring your wheels are properly aligned helps maintain control and stability, especially in emergency situations.

Regular wheel alignment offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Improved Safety: Proper alignment ensures better handling and control of your vehicle.
  • Extended Tire Life: Even tire wear reduces the need for frequent replacements.
  • Enhanced Fuel Efficiency: Correct alignment reduces rolling resistance, improving fuel economy.
  • Smoother Ride: Experience a more comfortable and stable drive.

What Causes Car Alignment Issues?

Several factors can lead to alignment issues, including:

  • Hitting curbs or potholes.
  • Worn suspension components.

Understanding these causes can help you take preventive measures and maintain your vehicle's alignment.

If you're concerned about the tread on your tires, we recommend the “penny test” to check your tread depth. Simply insert a penny into your tire's tread groove with Lincoln's head upside down and facing you. If you can see all of Lincoln's head, your tread depth is less than 2/32 inch and it's time to replace your tires.

Signs You May Need an Alignment Service

While alignment issues are uncomfortable, they also cause big problems for your tires. Uneven wear can shorten your tires’ lifespan and even cause a dangerous blowout while you’re driving.

If your vehicle is exhibiting any of the following symptoms or has been in a recent collision, it’s imperative that you get your alignment checked out immediately:

  • Uneven or cupped tire wear
  • Cupped wear: also known as tire scalloping, this wear pattern appears as dips around the edge of your tire tread.
  • Vehicle and floorboard vibrations at highway speeds
  • Pulling to one side when driving straight
  • Diminished handling capability
  • Steering wheel off-centered while driving

How Christian Brothers Automotive Can Help

Without the correct wheel alignment, your gas mileage, tire life, and overall performance of your vehicle will pay the price. This is why we recommend checking your alignment every 6,000 miles or 6 months.

You may not always notice improper alignment right away. But even subtle changes can cause uneven tire wear and rob your valuable investment of thousands of miles. As your partners in automotive care, we offer a free courtesy inspection check when performing any service. Through our courtesy check, we are usually able to spot alignment problems when changing your oil or performing routine maintenance. However, if you believe you have an alignment problem that needs to be fixed, don’t hesitate to let us know.
