Wheel Alignment
What is Wheel
Alignment?
When all of the elements of your suspension are in proper alignment, your car will go straight. It really is that simple.
What causes my car to go out of alignment?
In California, mostly potholes cause vehicles to become misaligned.
How can I tell if my car is out of alignment?
If you notice that you have uneven tire wear (the inside of the tire is worn more than the outside of your tire or vice versa) or your vehicle pulls to one side, then your car is most likely not aligned properly.
What happens if I don't align my
car?
If your vehicle is misaligned, you will have premature tire wear costing you hundreds of dollars. Every vehicle and every vehicle owner is different in that individual driving conditions and individual drivers affect tire wear. At Kuni Sacramento, we recommend that you rotate your tires every time you get your oil changed (approximately 4,000 to 7,000 miles depending upon your driving habits).
What is done prior to aligning my car?
Prior to performing the alignment, our technicians will first perform a thorough inspection for worn, bent or broken suspension parts. We will also check to make sure the tire pressures are set correctly in each tire. We will not align your vehicle if your vehicle is within manufacturer specifications.
How often should I
have my car aligned?
Due to the road conditions in California, we recommend that you have your car aligned once annually as a good interval. Additionally, if you buy new tires, we recommend you have your vehicle aligned at that time.
