Wheels can go out of alignment when your tires hit something on the road. For example, hitting a pothole or running over a large piece of debris can cause the metal wheel of your car to shift slightly. You’ll notice that the vehicle might gradually go to the right or left if a wheel is out of alignment. Not fixing this problem can lead to more extensive damage.
We use specialized equipment to move the wheel back in place. First, we remove the tire to check it and the tire rims for damage. Then, an aligner machine measures the angles of the wheels to the vehicle’s original specifications. The technician adjusts the machine as needed to realign the wheel. The aligner uses sensors, cameras, or a combination of both to measure the wheel before making the adjustment.
We can help repair your vehicle if a wheel is out of alignment. Contact us, call (618) 281-5111, or schedule a service appointment as soon as you can. We’ll have you back on the road in no time.
