Three reasons you need a wheel alignment

Benefits of a wheel alignment
As your vehicle encounters bumps, potholes, and random objects left on the road, you’ll experience some warps in the axle or misalignment in the wheel bearings. Your vehicle is designed to be able to handle small bumps every now and then, but those bumps can add up to misaligned wheels and that can have a harmful effect on your vehicle. When this happens, it’s time to schedule a wheel alignment. Check out the benefits of a wheel alignment below!

If you know you’ve hit your fair share of bumps on the road, chances are your vehicle could use a wheel alignment. The first is that misalignment can cause excessive and uneven wear on the tires. This is an obvious disadvantage and is a good reason to get them aligned, as uneven tire wear can force you to get rid of the tires sooner than you anticipated.

Secondly, having misaligned tires can be quite bad for the suspension. While the suspension is built to withstand a little bit of a beating, too much can damage the components in it and leave you with some costly damage. It will also cause the steering wheel to pull a little harder one way or the other.2019 Honda Ridgeline carrying an ATV

When should you get a transmission flush?

The third reason you’ll want to get a wheel alignment as soon as possible is because failing to do so will chip away at your fuel efficiency as well. Uneven tire wear in and of itself costs a few MPGs, but when you combine wheels moving in different directions, it will force the engine to work harder which of course negatively affects fuel economy.
