Wheel alignments are an important part of any vehicle maintenance plan. You may have heard this service referred to as a front-end alignment or tire alignment as well. The purpose is to keep your tires pointing in the correct direction. As you can probably guess, being out of alignment can cause a number of problems. Here's what the Land Rover of Tacoma team thinks you should know about alignments.
An alignment is actually an adjustment to a vehicle's suspension and steering, which results in achieving the proper angle of your tires so that they are able to achieve optimal road contact. The right angles differ for every make and model. That's why it's essential to make an appointment with a qualified service center when your vehicle is out of alignment.
Alignments should be performed about every 6,000 miles or when you notice certain symptoms. One big sign is pulling to the left or right. You may also have difficulty steering straight.
