Alignment refers to an adjustment of a vehicle’s suspension, rather than the wheels or tires. Wheel alignments help ensure that your tires are angled correctly: level with the road surface, pointing straight ahead, and parallel to each other so that they can maintain straight-line tracking. Wheel alignment plays a critical role in the performance of your vehicle, which is why it is considered standard maintenance. Tires that are out of alignment can cause uneven braking and tire wear and a shorter life expectancy for your tires, as well as problems in the steering system.
Here are 4 signs your vehicle may be in need of a wheel alignment:

Many people confuse wheel alignment and wheel balancing but they are not the same thing. Both tasks are concerned with the vehicle’s ride and handling, but each is designed to address different problems. Balancing usually is used to correct a vibration issue, while alignment deals with tire wear, steering, or tracking problems.
If your vehicle continues going straight even when you let go of the wheel, chances are the wheels are properly aligned. Even so, it is a good idea to have your vehicle’s wheel alignment checked at least once a year, such as when you have your tires rotated or your brakes examined. It is recommended that an alignment always be performed when you purchase new tires so that they wear evenly from the beginning..
