Wheel Alignment
Maplewood, MN
Hitting potholes and curbs takes a toll on your vehicle's alignment. If your car pulls to one side or your steering wheel is not centered when driving straight, you likely need an alignment. At Maplewood Auto Service, we use advanced alignment technology to restore precise wheel angles and protect your tires.
Protect Your Investment with Precision Alignment
A misaligned vehicle causes uneven tire wear that can shorten the life of an expensive set of tires by thousands of miles. Beyond tire wear, improper alignment reduces fuel economy because your tires are fighting the road instead of rolling efficiently. When your wheels are not making proper contact with the pavement, handling and braking performance suffer as well.
At Maplewood Auto Service, we adjust camber, caster, and toe angles to the manufacturer's exact specifications. This ensures even tire contact, straight tracking, and maximum tire life from every set you install.
Signs You Need an Alignment
-
Vehicle Pulls Left or RightIf you have to constantly correct your steering to keep the vehicle going straight, your alignment is off and putting unnecessary stress on your tires and suspension.
-
Steering Wheel Off-CenterWhen driving on a flat, straight road, your steering wheel should be centered. If it sits at an angle, your alignment needs adjustment.
-
Rapid, Uneven, or Saw-Toothed Tire Tread WearCheck your tire tread for patterns of uneven wear. Feathering, cupping, or one-sided wear are telltale signs of alignment problems that are costing you money.
-
Loose or Vibrating Steering at Highway SpeedsA wandering or vibrating steering feel at highway speeds can indicate alignment issues, often compounded by worn suspension components.
