Tire alignment is the method of modifying your vehicle’s suspension to carry the wheels and tires to particular angles, enabling optimum handling, wear and efficiency of the vehicle. To maximize the benefits of this service, your local car repair shop near Lake Elmo MN, Tire Pros & Wheel Experts, bring you 4 things you need to know before you schedule your car’s next tire alignment. 

How Frequently Do I Need It?

Under normal driving conditions, alignment is recommended once or twice annually. This advice is rather flexible, however. If you are driving on especially rough roads, or if you have a history of touching curbs (those nasty things come from nowhere), then you should certainly be with your alignment specialist on a first-name basis.

Do New Tires Need Alignment? 

Not necessarily. But if it's been a while since your last alignment, it can be a good opportunity to tackle alignment by mounting new tires, especially if your old, dismounted tires display signs of uneven wear. Having an alignment will allow your new tires to ensure proper tire wear and full tire life.

What’s The Difference Between Balancing And Alignment?

Oh, no. Balancing requires adjusting the wheel and tire for weight imbalances. To establish an even weight distribution around the wheel, small weights are mounted within the barrel of the wheel. Alignment and balance are often misunderstood since, for instance, steering wheel chatter, the symptoms of an out-of-balance wheel / tire and the symptoms of a vehicle that is out of alignment can be identical.

Front Or Four-Wheel Alignment?

This depends on your car, and whether rear adjustments are accessible. The rear tires of some vehicles are completely fixed. If changes to the front and rear alignment are necessary, then you'll want a four wheel alignment.
