Tires and Alignment

How do I know when my car needs a wheel alignment?

You need an alignment when the car pulls to one side, the steering wheel is off-center while driving straight, or the tires are wearing on one edge. Also after a hard pothole or curb hit, new tires, or suspension work.

Signs you are out of alignment

  • The car drifts or pulls when you loosen your grip
  • The steering wheel is crooked on a straight road
  • Tires wearing faster on one edge
  • Squealing tires on easy turns

Why it matters

Misalignment scrubs the tires sideways as you drive, wearing them out early and making the car work harder. It can also hide a worn suspension part, which is why YBE checks the suspension before aligning.
