Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need a front-end alignment?

Garys Auto Repair: Certified Mechanics - Delafield, WI
A front end alignment is needed when the vehicle has excessive tire wear, when the vehicle pulls or when new tires are purchased to ensure maximum mileage from your new tires. Sometimes a pull is worn into the tires and will remain even after an alignment is performed unless the tires are rotated. We get a lot of requests for wheel alignment for a shaking symptom. This is usually a tire balancing problem, a bad tire condition or a warped brake rotor.

When/how often should I get an alignment done?

Cars generally stay aligned unless one of the components wears out (e.g., spring sag, upper bearings stretch), you hit something hard or you replaced shocks and springs. If you notice any form of uneven wear, e.g., feathering, more wear on one side than the other, it is time for an alignment. However, it's a good idea to first replace the worn out part before you do the alignment, and with the high cost of tires, it may be a good idea to check things out then. See similar questions...

Do I need an alignment after I install a lift or lowering kit?

FAQ Suspension Kits Research Guide Compare Custom Suspension...
While not all lift and lowering kits require an immediate alignment, it is a good idea to have one done anyways. Tinkering around with your vehicle's steering components, center of gravity and suspension parts can throw everything out of balance. And, when your vehicle is out of alignment, your tires wear out faster, your fuel economy suffers and your handling can be dangerously unpredictable. In a word, yes. Lift kits radically transform how your vehicle drives, both off-road an on. See similar questions...
