Tire wear is a common issue for many Wisconsin drivers, but did you know you can prevent it by aligning the front end of your vehicle?

Frontend alignment problems can cause several concerns for Wisconsin drivers, such as faster tire wear, less fuel efficiency, and poor handling. The most common cause of frontend alignment issues is improper tire inflation/pressure, which causes tires to wear unevenly and cause the vehicle to pull to one side. Check your tire pressure often, or stop by Russ Darrow to have us check for you. Potholes, speed bumps, and other rough surfaces can also cause the alignment to change, resulting in misalignment. Wear and tear on components from age and how often you drive can also be caused by suspension and steering parts that don’t work perfectly. The technicians at Russ Darrow can ensure your car stays in peak performance with routine maintenance visits and vehicle inspections. Frontend alignment is an essential part of car maintenance that some people ignore. Alignment refers to the angles and positions of your car’s tires, suspension, and steering system. When the alignment is off, everything else is compromised, and you’ll notice tire wear, poor handling, and reduced fuel efficiency.

You might notice that your car pulls to one side, there is uneven tire wear, your steering wheel isn’t perfectly centered when driving straight, and vibration in the steering wheel and tires can produce a distinct squealing sound, especially when turning. These are telltale signs that your vehicle might need an alignment. Preventing tire wear is as easy as staying on top of frontend alignments. When wheels are misaligned on a car, the suspension components end up with a great deal of premature wear and tear, leading to other costly repairs. An alignment service helps assure that the wheels point in the same direction. This boosts road grip and handling capabilities as the car moves forward because all four tires are in sync while distributing weight more evenly on the road, thus creating even tread wear. A correct alignment will also ensure safe and comfortable handling for the driver, eliminating any unnecessary vibrations or shaking from the wheels being out of sync.
