Wheel Alignment

THE IMPORTANCE OF A WHEEL ALIGNMENT

A lot of things go into maintaining your vehicle so it performs safely and at its best. Proper wheel alignment is one thing that plays an important role. Wheel alignment affects fuel efficiency, tire wear, tire performance, vehicle handling and maneuverability. Wheel alignment is a big factor in a vehicle's steering response. This leads many to the most frequently asked question about tire alignment, "When should I get an alignment?" There is no absolute answer to the question since all vehicles have different service requirements. A service technician at Jubilee will be able to do an alignment check to determine if alignment is necessary. They can also give you advice about how often you need to have alignments done.

Simply put, proper wheel alignments allow for safer driving. Wheel alignment will also extend the life of your tires. Incorrectly aligned wheels are one of the main causes for uneven and/or premature tire wear. Uneven tread wear will decrease the safe driving life of a tire, or in a worst-case scenario may damage a tire beyond repair, requiring premature replacement. Every time you’re in service we will run a wheel alignment quick check to make sure we catch any misalignments on your vehicle.

DO I NEED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT?

If you've noticed your vehicle pulling to one side or that your tires are wearing unevenly, it's likely that your alignment is off. A wheel alignment can help to ensure that your vehicle is driving straight and that your tires are wearing evenly. This can help to improve fuel economy and extend the life of your tires. If you're concerned about tire wear or if you've hit a pothole or other obstacle that may have affected your alignment, it's a good idea to have your vehicle checked out by a professional. They can ensure that your wheels are returned to the correct factory specs, so you can get back on the road with confidence.

A wheel alignment is recommended when:

• New tires are installed
• You experience uneven tire wear, steering pull, or an off-center steering wheel
• Your vehicle has had an accident or a hard impact with a curb, potholes or road debris
• You lower or lift your vehicle
• Your vehicle drives on all-season or all-weather tires year-round, and it’s been a 1-2 years since your last alignment service

THE MOST COMMON SIGNS OF MISALIGNMENT:

• It feels like your vehicle is pulling to one side
• Uneven tire tread wear
• Front-end ‘shimmies’ or vibrates when hitting a bump
• Steering wheel is off-center when driving straight
  
  

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN A WHEEL ALIGNMENT SERVICE?

A wheel alignment is a service performed on a vehicle to ensure that all four wheels are parallel and sitting flat on the road. This is done using state-of-the-art, computerized technology, and our certified technicians are highly skilled in this process. A wheel alignment is important for several reasons. First, it ensures that your vehicle is able to drive straight and that your steering wheel is centered. Secondly, it helps to improve the handling of your vehicle and can increase fuel efficiency. Finally, it can extend the life of your tires by preventing uneven wear. If you are experiencing any of these issues, or if you just want to keep your vehicle running its best, we highly recommend scheduling a wheel alignment service at Jubilee Ford.

Correct wheel alignment may maximize your Ford’s performance, tire life and gas consumption too. Everyday driving, especially on bumpy roads or over potholes, can throw alignment off, causing the vehicle to pull to one side or the steering wheel to vibrate. When the alignment is off, tires may wear unevenly, decreasing their lifespan. If something seems ‘off’ while you’re driving, have our technician check your vehicle’s alignment.
