When to Visit Our Service Center for a Wheel Alignment

There isnā€™t a shortage of things that will require you to bring your vehicle to ourĀ vehicle service centerĀ during its working life. Youā€™ll need to bring your car to our service center for routine maintenance tasks like oil changes, for example. Drivers must bring their cars to our location for other services too, such as wheel alignments.

What Is an Alignment?Ā 

Also known as a tire alignment, a wheel alignment involves adjustments made to your carā€™s suspension. The goal of this type of service is to ensure your tires contact the road at specified angles, your wheels are pointed straight ahead, and your tires are centered in your wheel wells.

After a wheel alignment performed atĀ Bernardā€™s Northtown Chrysler Dodge JeepĀ® RAM, youā€™ll enjoy the following benefits:

  • A smooth ride
  • Tires that last as long as possible
  • A more fuel-efficient car
  • Peace of mind behind the wheel

When a Wheel Alignment Might Be NecessaryĀ 

Whether you drive one of theĀ latest Jeep modelsĀ or an older vehicle, the odds are good that youā€™ll need to schedule a wheel alignment at some point if you own your car long enough. Thatā€™s because various things can throw the alignment of your wheels out of whack.

Here are some of the occurrences that may make a tire alignment a necessity:

  • A collision
  • The installation of new or seasonal tires
  • A change in the height of your suspension
  • Driving over a pothole or speedbump or having a run-in with an obstacle like a curb

Signs You Need a Tire AlignmentĀ 

Drivers who contact ourĀ Richmond, WI Jeep dealershipĀ sometimes ask us how they can tell if they need a wheel alignment. Determining when youā€™ll need this service is fairly easy because your car will likely exhibit symptoms when it needs a tire alignment, such as:

  • Pulling or drifting to one side or the other
  • A steering wheel thatā€™s off-center even when youā€™re traveling in a straight line
  • Uneven or unusual tire wear
  • A vibrating steering wheel

Have you noticed one of the signs that signals your alignment is off? If so, we encourage you to bring your car to our service center. When your alignment is off, it puts extra, avoidable strain on other components which can make more extensive repairs necessary. To prevent that, get a wheel alignment at our location today.
