Sometimes referred to as a front-end alignment or a tire alignment, a wheel alignment adjusts three angles for each tire: Camber, caster and toe. The alignment ensures the proper amount of tread is sitting on the road and that the tires are parallel to each other. Eastside Automotive in Greer, SC, has a state-of-the-art alignment machine that allows the auto repair shop to check the tire angles and make any necessary repairs.
It focuses on camber and toe. There may be times when kits, eccentrics, or shims may be needed and are additional items.
A thrust-angle alignment aligns all four wheels and addresses the rear-wheel angle positioning against the centerline of the vehicle. This type of alignment is for vehicles with a solid rear axle.
While it’s better to have the wheel alignment checked every year so you can catch it before it starts to wear on the tires, sometimes things happen to knock the vehicle out of alignment. Hitting a pothole just right or bumping a curb could knock the alignment out. Even if you have the alignment checked frequently, you should also look for signs your vehicle needs an alignment, including:
The type of uneven tire wear from alignment issues is different from uneven tire wear caused by incorrect air pressure. If the uneven tire wear is on one side of the tire tread or the whole tread shows scalloping, the problem is a suspension or alignment problem.
If you are driving straight, but the steering wheel isn’t centered, the wheels are most likely misaligned. Eastside Automotive in Greer, SC can check and adjust the alignment to get the steering wheel centered.
If you feel vibrations in the steering wheel at higher speeds and you know your vehicle’s tires are balanced, you may have an alignment problem.
Misalignment not only causes uneven tire wear but it also increases wear and tear on some suspension and steering components. Keeping the vehicle aligned means less wear and tear, which translates into “you save money in the long run.”
