How important is Wheel Alignment?
Research indicates that the average car is driven about 12,000 miles per year.  A car with toe alignment just 0.34 degrees (just 0.17 inches) out of specifications has dragged its tyres sideways for over 68 miles by the end of the year.

What are the warning signs that your car is out of alignment?

• Excessive or uneven tyre wear.
• Steering wheel pulls to the left or right.
• Feeling of looseness or wandering.
• Steering wheel vibration or shimmy.
• Steering wheel is not centred when car is moving straight ahead.

How often should you have your car aligned?
Follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommendation noted in your owner's manual.  But, as a general rule, have your vehicle's tyres checked every 16,000 km's (10,000 miles) or at least once a year.
