Expert Tip: Get your alignment checked annually or every 12,000 miles, even if you don't notice symptoms. Preventive alignment saves money on tire replacement.
A professional wheel alignment typically takes 45-60 minutes. This includes inspection, adjustment, and a test drive. If additional repairs are needed (like replacing worn suspension parts), it may take longer.
2-wheel (front-end) alignment adjusts only the front wheels and is suitable for vehicles with solid rear axles. 4-wheel alignment adjusts all four wheels and is necessary for front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and most modern vehicles with independent rear suspension.
Manufacturers typically recommend alignment checks every 2-3 years or 30,000 miles. However, you should get it checked sooner if you hit a curb, pothole, or notice symptoms like pulling or uneven tire wear.
While you can technically drive with poor alignment, it's not recommended. Bad alignment causes rapid, uneven tire wear, reduced fuel economy, poor handling, and potential safety issues. It will cost more in the long run due to premature tire replacement.
Yes, it's highly recommended. Installing new tires on a vehicle with poor alignment will cause the new tires to wear unevenly and prematurely. Most tire shops include a free alignment check with new tire purchases.
Common causes include hitting potholes, curbs, or speed bumps; worn suspension components; minor accidents; heavy loads; and normal wear over time. Even regular driving on rough roads can gradually affect alignment.
