Why Alignment Matters
Potholes, curbs and worn parts knock your wheels out of alignment. Misaligned wheels wear tires unevenly, hurt fuel economy and make the car pull. Have the alignment checked whenever you replace tires or steering and suspension parts, or any time the car doesn’t track straight.

Steering, Suspension & Alignment Questions
How do I know if I need an alignment?
Common signs are the car pulling to one side, an off-center steering wheel when you’re driving straight, and uneven tire wear. An alignment is also a good idea after hitting a big pothole or curb, and after suspension or steering repairs.
How long do shocks and struts last?
It varies with the vehicle and how it’s driven. Rather than going by mileage alone, we inspect for leaks, worn mounts and poor ride control and tell you what we find.
Why does my car clunk over bumps?
Clunks usually come from worn sway bar links, ball joints, control arm bushings or strut mounts. We inspect the suspension to pinpoint the source.
Is it safe to drive with worn suspension parts?
Worn steering and suspension parts affect handling and braking, and some — like ball joints — can fail suddenly. If you notice clunking, wandering or loose steering, have it checked soon.
