FAQ on Getting Tire Alignment in Lebanon, TN

The camber is the angle of your wheels and tires on a flat surface. The toe is the angle at which your tires point inward or outward and is what helps determine how straight your car drives. The caster measures your steering axis and affects how easy it is to turn your steering wheel.

All three angles must be within a specific range for your vehicle to handle correctly.

There are three main types of alignments: front-end, four-wheel, and thrust.

A front-end alignment is the most common type and only adjusts the angles of your front wheels. A four-wheel alignment will adjust all four of your tires. And a thrust alignment is done on rear-wheel drive vehicles and adjusts the rear wheels to compensate for any wear on the front tires.

The frequency with which you need an alignment will depend on a few factors, such as your driving habits and vehicle type. However, most experts recommend getting an alignment at least once a year.

Several signs can indicate that your vehicle needs an alignment, such as:

• Uneven or rapid tire wear
• Pulling to one side while driving
• Crooked steering wheel when driving straight
• Unusual vibrations coming from your steering wheel, seat, or pedals

If you notice any of these, schedule an appointment with us immediately so we can take a look.

Yes, one of the primary purposes of an alignment is to fix a crooked steering wheel. When your vehicle's tires are correctly aligned, your steering wheel will be level when driving straight.
