What Is It?

What Can Happen? 

Although your vehicle arrives from the assembly line with the optimal wheel alignment, its condition will not likely remain that way forever. General wear and tear from your daily drive can slowly change the suspension angle adjustment because of imperfections like minor holes and bumps along the road. The alignment can also be upset if you hit an obstacle, such as a major pothole, curb, or speed bump, particularly if you don’t see it and fail to slow down. Being involved in a collision can also shift the critical wheel and body relationships. Regardless of the underlying cause, 6 Street Auto Repair and Tires is your best shop for correcting wheel alignment.    

How Will You Know? 

Although it’s a good idea to have us perform a wheel alignment periodically, especially when purchasing new tires, there are some signs that you may observe that should prompt you to schedule a visit with 6 Street Auto Repair and Tires. You may notice that your tires are wearing unevenly. The tread will look like it has been worn significantly more in some areas than others. This nearly always points to a wheel alignment problem that results in your tires making uneven contact with the road. Another indicator is your automobile pulling to one side as you drive. You may also see that the steering wheel looks off-centered or won’t return to the center position. The steering wheel might vibrate or shake in your hands as you drive, as well, or it may feel too loose. The tires of some cars are out of alignment, which makes high-pitched squealing sounds. When you question proper alignment, we’ll place your vehicle on our alignment rack, making accurate computerized measurements. Using those results, we’ll make the proper adjustments to bring your automobile back within the manufacturer’s tolerances.
