A wheel alignment helps ensure your tires are angled correctly, level with the ground, pointing straight ahead and parallel to each other.

This way they can maintain straight-line tracking. Proper alignment angles will help you maximize the life of your tires. In addition, the handling of your vehicle will be considerably easier. Wheel alignments are arguably the most important aspect of wheel and tire balance. Wheels out of alignment can cause difficulty with overall vehicle handling. Wheels must be lined up correctly to keep suitable control of your vehicle. Wheels that are out of position could cause driving to become difficult in addition to causing uneven wear on the tires. When your wheels are properly aligned, your vehicle will offer a much smoother ride.

Alignment of all four wheels is often the best choice for many drivers, particularly those who have front-wheel drive. Properly aligned wheels provide many benefits, including cutting down on fuel costs, because wheels that have been aligned properly offer considerably less rolling resistance. Routine wheel alignments also prevent disproportionate tire wear, so your tires will last longer. Wheel alignment as well as tire balancing and tire rotation can expand the life of your tires and boost the total safety of your vehicle. An effectively aligned vehicle may enhance performance as well as increase fuel economy.

Your vehicle needs a wheel alignment if:

You experience a vibration when turning your vehicle
The steering wheel pulls to the left or the right
The steering wheel is not straight when driving on a straight roadway
Your tire tread is wearing unevenly

A wheel alignment at Scheller Automotive features:

Assessment of the steering and suspension components
Examination of the tires for size, inflation and wear
Comparison of your wheel alignment to manufacturing guidelines

The importance of wheel alignment:

Reduced tire wear: Improper alignment is a major cause of premature tire wear. Over the years, a properly aligned vehicle can add thousands of miles to tire life
Better gas mileage: Gas mileage increases as rolling resistance decreases. Proper alignment can minimize rolling resistance
Improved handling: Many handling problems can be corrected by proper wheel alignment. With all the vehicle components aligned properly, road shock is more efficiently absorbed for a smoother ride.
Safer driving: A suspension system inspection is part of the alignment procedure

Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation as to how often your wheels should be aligned. As a general rule, have your wheel alignment checked every 10,000 miles or at least once a year.
