The importance of wheel alignment and balancing is often overlooked by auto owners. Which is why Norlang Auto wanted to ensure our customers know the reasons why such services are critical for their vehicle’s safety and lifespan.
The Importance of a Wheel Alignment and Balancing
Maintaining your vehicle involves more than just regular oil changes and tire rotations. Two critical services that often go overlooked are wheel alignment and balancing. Norlang Auto is here to help with that!
Here are 4 reasons why such maintenance is a crucial service…
1. Improved Safety & Handling
Proper alignment ensures that your vehicle drives straight without pulling to one side or the other, ensuring a smooth and safe ride.
2. Extended Tire Life
Regular alignment checks can also help ensure even tire wear, saving you money on premature tire replacements.
3. Optimal Fuel Consumption
When your wheels are properly aligned, there is less rolling resistance, leading to optimal fuel consumption.
4. Reduced Wear and Tear
Misalignment can put additional stress on your vehicle’s suspension and steering systems. This can lead to premature wear and potential costly repairs.
Signs You Need a Wheel Alignment:
- Your vehicle pulls to one side.
- Uneven tire wear.
- The steering wheel is off-centre when driving straight.
- Squealing tires.
Signs You Need Wheel Balancing:
- Vibrations in the steering wheel, seat, or floorboard at certain speeds.
