Understanding Wheel Alignment and Its Importance
Proper wheel alignment means adjusting your vehicle’s wheels to match the manufacturer’s specified angles. Correct wheel alignment ensures your tires last longer, improves vehicle handling, and provides a safer driving experience.
Misalignment of wheels can cause uneven tire wear, reduce fuel efficiency, and lead to a rougher ride, which is why alignment checks are essential for maintaining your car.
