Following the rough winter driving conditions, you may have noticed that your vehicle isn't moving down the road in a straight and true path.  This compromises the safety of your passengers, as well as other motorists.  If a vehicle no longer has the proper wheel alignment, its tires will wear out more quickly and potentially create some driving hazards.  In order to prevent some of the hazards listed below, it's good to have some information about car alignment.

Here are some of the hazards caused by improper car alignment:

  • Uneven tire wear and tear-- relative to each other and within each tire's own thread.
  • Rough and slightly worn appearance.
  • The shortened life span of tires, leading to premature replacement.
  • Poor driving traction, which affects the ability to stop under all circumstances, especially in poor driving conditions, such as mud, snow or ice on the ground.
  • Poor handling.

If you are experiencing any of the conditions listed above, schedule a car alignment as soon as possible. The cost to ensure proper wheel alignment will be much less than the cost of replacing four tires that wore prematurely.

Tires get a number of ratings, including the uniform tire quality grading (UTQG) system ratings from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).  These ratings indicate the treadwear, traction, and temperature capabilities.  There is also manufacturers' information (such as tire type, width, aspect ratio, construction type, and rim diameter). All of these ratings are based on proper inflation and alignment. If your car is “out of alignment” and has worn tires, it is impossible to determine how much heat your tire can take, how much load your vehicle can carry, and how quickly your vehicle can come to a stop.  As a result, with improper wheel alignment, a driver could be literally driving blind regarding what his or her car can do.

Do you have questions about your car alignment?   Contact our ASE-Certified Technicians today by calling (763) 389-3811, or go on-line at https://www.rumriverauto.com/ for more information.  Since 1997, our auto repair shop has served vehicle owners in Princeton, MN, and in the surrounding areas of Milaca, MN, and Zimmerman, MN.
