Most new vehicles are trouble free. However, mechanical or design problems may show up a few months into owning a car. One such problem could be with the wheel alignment. If you're worried about how long does a wheel alignment take, it is generally a quick service with minimum interruption to your busy schedule.

Nevertheless, some drivers neglect a car alignment service, However, driving a vehicle with poor alignment can cause the following negative effects:

  1. Uneven wearing of tires and suspension system. The driver can be at risk of a blowout making it unsafe to drive.
  2. An unstable steering wheel that pulls the vehicle to the side when driving straight on a level road. Screeching sounds may also be heard from the wheel when turning. This could be signed of damaging the suspension and even effectiveness of the brakes.
  3. The wheels not responding to your command of the steering wheel, having to hold on tight to keep driving straight can exhaustion, plus also affect normal fuel consumption.

How Long Does a Wheel Alignment Take?

A normal car alignment (whether a two wheel or a four wheel), will take on average about one hour, not including waiting time. If there is any damage or too much play on any ball joint, track rod, suspension or steering bushing, then it could take longer as various components may need to be replaced.

Check the car alignment on a regular basis is a good idea, but especially if the following occurs while driving: sudden or forceful impact on the wheel, such as hitting a pothole or bump; as well as after an accident.
