Is your vehicle in need of a wheel alignment? Or are you simply interested in learning more about what it entails? We’re here to help at The Mechanic Spot. Wheel alignment is the process of adjusting the angles of the wheels to ensure they are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground. Proper wheel alignment helps improve handling and stability, extend tire life, and maximize fuel efficiency. During a wheel alignment service, one of our ASE-certified technicians will measure the angles of the wheels and make any necessary adjustments to ensure they are within the manufacturer’s specifications. Three main angles are checked, and adjustments may need to be made during wheel alignment: camber, caster, and toe. Camber refers to the vertical angle of the wheel about the ground, caster refers to the steering pivot angle, and toe refers to the direction in which the wheels point about the vehicle’s centerline.
When Do You Need a Wheel Alignment?
Wheel alignment is required when one or more angles stray from the correct specification. This can occur due to various factors, such as hitting a curb, driving over potholes, or normal wear and tear of suspension components. We encourage annual alignment inspections to ensure optimal performance and safety, which we can do for you at our shop. Additionally, specific symptoms may indicate a need for a wheel alignment. These include uneven tire wear, steering wheel vibration, the vehicle pulling to one side, or a crooked steering wheel when driving straight. If you experience any of these issues, it is advisable to have the alignment checked promptly. Addressing misalignment early can prevent further damage to tires and suspension components and promote a smoother and safer driving experience. At The Mechanic Spot, we are wheel alignment experts who can quickly get your vehicle tracking straight and true. See us for your alignment needs at 2921 Dickerson Pike, Nashville, TN 37207.
