Rathdrum Wheel Alignment
Running over a large pothole or a curb can leave your vehicle with misaligned wheels. If this occurs, you’ll notice your car pulling to the left or the right. Not only can this be very dangerous, but it will also create uneven tire wear and shorten the life of the tires. If you live in Rathdrum, wheel alignment is close by. Bring your vehicle to the professionals at the Knudtsen Chevrolet Service Center for fast, expert service. Your car will drive safely, and the tires will last longer.
Wheel misalignment occurs when the suspension and steering systems aren’t operating at the correct angles. When you bring your car to the Knudtsen Chevrolet Service Center for wheel alignment in Rathdrum, our service technicians will adjust the angles of the wheels to conform to the manufacturer’s specifications. When the wheels are properly aligned, the vehicle will drive straight, without any pulling.
If you’d like to read more about your car’s wheel alignment, you’ll find the manufacturer’s recommendations in your owner’s manual. The general rule is to have the wheels aligned whenever you replace suspension or steering mechanisms, or after you’ve experienced a serious driving event like an accident.
When you bring your car, truck, SUV or van to the Knudtsen Chevrolet Service Center for a wheel alignment, our expert technicians will use the latest equipment to measure your vehicle’s suspension and steering components. Then they’ll adjust the angles to meet the manufacturer’s specifications. You’ll get a smooth ride, better fuel economy, and the tires will wear evenly. Our service technicians will also inspect and adjust the suspension system, the front and rear steering, the condition of the tires and the tire air pressure.
If your car needs a wheel alignment, don’t put it off. A vehicle that can’t drive straight can be dangerous. Several tire problems can result from wheels that are out of alignment, including:
- Cup Wear: This occurs when the tires develop cupped dips around the inside or outside edge of the tread. This results from bent or worn suspension components.
- Feathering: The inner or outer edge of the tire is worn out. Feathering is characterized by tread ribs that develop a rounded edge on one side and a sharp edge on the other side.
- One-side Wear: The inner or outer ribs of the tire wear out faster than the rest of the tire. One-side wear is the result of excessive camber.
If you notice your vehicle pulling to the left or right, don’t ignore it. Let the professional service technicians at the Knudtsen Chevrolet Service Center help. We’ll align the wheels quickly and get you back on the road safely.
