Wheel Alignment in Bedford, PA - Bedford Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram

Have you ever wondered why your car doesn’t feel as smooth or handle as easily as it used to? It might be the case that your wheels are misaligned: a common problem that’s simple to remedy. Read on to learn why it’s important to routinely visit your local CDJR dealer for wheel alignment

Correct Crooked Steering

The wheels of your car perform optimally when in their original state of precise alignment. As continual knocks from the road and ordinary suspension wear and tear push wheels slightly out of position, your steering will begin to suffer. 

You may notice the steering wheel feels looser and your car responds less exactly to each steering input. It’s also possible for misaligned wheels to push the steering wheel out of a centered position, meaning you need to hold it off-center to track straight. When we realign your wheels, your steering will become centered and highly responsive once more. 

Keep Your Car From Veering

Off-angle wheels might cause your car to pull slightly to one side. This makes it difficult to maintain a straight course, especially if the steering wheel is also crooked. 

Protect Your Tires From Uneven Wear

When the tires are misaligned, the awkward angles may be putting excess strain on one half of the tire or more pressure on one tire than the others. The result is uneven tire wear, which creates a safety hazard and also shortens tire longevity. 

Keep Other Car Parts From Harm

Not only are the tires damaged by misaligned wheels, but also other connected car parts. Wear and tear will spread throughout the suspension, the steering system will become damaged, and the brakes can also suffer. 

The overall result of misalignment is an acceleration of faults and repairs in your vehicle. Therefore, regular alignment protects both your car and your wallet in the long run. 

Stay Safer on the Road

Wheel realignment protects your physical safety too. The compounding negative effects from wheel misalignment heighten your risk of accidents. If you regularly have your alignment checked and corrected, you’re less likely to experience a collision resulting from imprecise steering or tire failure. 

Improve Your Driving Comfort

Poorly aligned wheels also generate excess vibrations and road noise. You’ll steadily feel your ride getting rougher and louder. Realignment restores your driving to the smooth and pleasant state of a brand-new car.
