Correct positioning of the wheels enables smooth steering of a vehicle and ensures even wearing of tires. Misaligned wheels can result in several issues, such as drifting to the left or right, which may cause an accident. To avoid such problems, it is essential to align the wheels according to the manufacturer's recommendations. It is recommended to perform a wheel alignment when installing new tires or during regular tire rotation. At Boulder Tire in Boulder, CO, we offer wheel inspection and alignment services.

How Is a Wheel Alignment Done?

The process of aligning your wheels is an elaborate procedure. The certified technicians at Boulder Tire can provide you with a dependable wheel alignment. Your vehicle will be placed on a wheel alignment machine. This machine will adjust your wheels' angles so that they are set to the car manufacturer's specifications. The type of alignment you receive is dependent on your car's suspension. Your technician will adjust the various suspension angles, which influence the tire movement and position. Your steering wheel will also be centered. To allow the stability control system's correct functioning, ensure that your car's alignment is correct. A test drive should be done after an alignment is performed to ensure your vehicle drives in a straight direction.

When Should I Get a Wheel Alignment?

Most vehicle manufacturers recommend getting a wheel alignment once a year. It's also recommended to get them every time you install new tires or get a tire rotation service. You might need to get a wheel alignment sooner if you experience any of the issues associated with bad alignment.
