It’s easy to notice when your battery isn’t charged or your air conditioning won’t blow, but can you tell when your car needs an Acura wheel alignment? These clues are a great sign you need to make an appointment with our technicians at Acura of Sherman Oaks before any long drives. From inconsistent steering to increased wear and tear, these issues add up, so make time to care of them today.
Unusual Steering
If your vehicle begins pulling to one side on a straight road, a wheel alignment may be needed. Left untreated, misalignment can also lead to uneven tire wear. If you relax your grip on a straight, empty road and your car starts to drift, make an appointment to have your tires checked out right away.
Off-Center Steering Wheel
If you notice the Acura logo on your steering wheel isn’t quite straight when you’re not turning, that’s another sign your steering wheel and tires aren’t in sync and need attention. You may also notice the vehicle feels less precise when cornering or requires constant small steering corrections to stay in your lane. Addressing alignment issues early helps restore predictable handling and can prevent premature tire wear.
Uneven Surfaces
One of the best aspects of tire care is that you can easily check them from your own garage. Just run your hands over the tread blocks on your tires and feel for feathering — that’s when the treads are rough in one direction, but relatively smooth going the other way. That’s a sure sign of uneven wear, so have our team take a look.
