Feeling your car pull in either direction could be a symptom of several things such as uneven air pressure, a tire manufacture issue, worn our parts in the steering or suspension, brakes wearing unevenly or a misalignment. When your car starts to drift, come by Lakeview Automotive so we can figure it out for you. 

Wear and tear on your tires is affected by many things and we see this often here at Lakeview Automotive. If we see uneven or rapid tire wear, we will look at several factors such as tire inflation, suspension, exposure to the elements, and of course, your car’s alignment. If the wear is excessive on the inner or outer edge of your tires, alignment is most likely to blame. 

Though differing tire pressure can be a culprit with this as well, most often when our clients come to see us here at Lakeview Automotive with a crooked steering wheel, we look at their alignment to try and assess and fix the problem. We’ll take a look at your steering and suspension to alter your alignment and get you straightened out.

So much depends on your tires and the air pressure within. Worn treads can make your tires squeal, as can worn out parts such as your alignment. If your vehicle’s suspension is off, the toe or camber angles might need to be tweaked.

Checking your car’s alignment is a key part of basic auto maintenance. We specialize in Ford and Subaru here at Lakeview Automotive, but can help you out with any vehicle and recommend you check your alignment annually, if not a couple of times per year.
