Routine car care could include scheduling an appointment for a wheel alignment at L. B. Smith Lincoln. A wheel alignment focuses on making sure the tire and wheel angles are correct. Specifically, the angles should be the same as those set by the manufacturer.
Wheels may suffer from misalignments when a car hits a pothole, curb, or anything capable of changing the angles on impact. Driving a vehicle with misaligned wheels comes with certain risks. The vehicle might not handle properly or pull to the right or left. Such problems increase the dangers of an accident.
Improper alignment could also cause unnecessary wear to the tire treads. Once tire treads wear out, traction decreases, also increasing collision risks. Owners would face the added cost of replacing the tires ahead of schedule and suffering from decreased fuel efficiency, too.
A Lemoyne technician will measure the angles during a wheel alignment. If they are misaligned, the technician could restore them to factory specs.
