Signs Your Car Needs a Wheel Alignment
Uneven and poorly maintained roads in South Florida can be the worst enemy for the wheels on your Nissan SUV, truck or car. Speed bumps, potholes, bumpy road surfaces and acute road curves may not only be uncomfortable to drive through on the Coral Springs, Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach and Boca Raton streets and highways, they also can seriously affect your vehicle’s alignment. An incorrect wheel alignment can create significant safety risks and cost South Florida motorists more money over time. Here are some of the tell-tale signs that it may be time to schedule an appointment for a wheel alignment at the Coral Springs Nissan Service Center.
When traveling on a flat road while driving straight ahead, the steering wheel should be centered not crooked. If the wheel is off-center by more than a miniscule amount, a wheel alignment may be needed. After an alignment, the manufacturer logo should sit upright in the center of the wheel and your overall drivability on the South Florida roadways will improve.
Whether your car, SUV or truck is pulling slightly to the left or right while you’re driving, it may be time to schedule a wheel alignment at Coral Springs Nissan. Ideally, your car should drive in a straight line on a flat road with little or no driver input.
Squealing tires, uneven or rapid tire wear are also key indicators that it may be time for an alignment. Uneven wear on the inside or outside edges of the tire are signs that you need an alignment. A proper wheel alignment will improve your vehicle’s overall drivability and increase the lifespan of your tires.
If your steering wheel vibrates far too often or appears loose when driving, a wheel alignment may be necessary. The steering wheel should be firm, but easily maneuverable with driver input.
In a car, SUV or truck with a proper alignment, the steering wheel will return to center on its own after making a turn. A steering wheel that remains in an off-center position is a major indication that a wheel alignment may be necessary.
