Does it feel like your car has started to disobey your steering inputs? If your tires and steering wheel are gaining a life of their own and trying to take you in the wrong direction, you almost certainly have misaligned wheels. Here are seven clear indications you should visit your local CDJR dealership promptly for a tire alignment to maintain full control of your vehicle. more Your Wheels Look Crooked It's difficult to notice misaligned tires at first, but as the issue develops, your wheels and tires will look strange. When viewed directly from the front or from above, one side of the tire will appear to be leaning slightly outward. Your Steering Feels Looser As your tires and wheels are so closely connected to the steering column, misalignment causes steering problems. You may notice a slightly looser, less precise sensation while cornering and maneuvering your car. Your Vehicle Veers to One Side If any of your tires are twisted outward on the toe angle, they'll try to take you in that direction. This makes it harder to drive straight as your car tries to pull you to one side. Your Steering Wheel Is Skewed The more serious the misalignment, the worse your handling becomes. If allowed to develop, misalignment can even twist the steering column, skewing the steering wheel into a permanently off-center position. Your Tires Are Squealing When tires become crooked on the camber angle, half of the treads is pressing against the tarmac more than the other half. This can cause tires to squeal noisily when you corner. Your Tires Are Irregular The uneven pressure created by misalignment also causes tires to develop irregular wear patterns. If you examine your tires, you may see that one side of the treads is going bald more rapidly. Your Car's Vibrating Noisily Without all four tires resting flat against the tarmac, your car will start to vibrate more than usual. You'll also hear more road noise as friction rises, which hinders fuel efficiency too. Need Wheel Alignment? Visit Your CDJR Dealership Today Alignment is required once a year for most drivers. This process entails connecting a computerized machine to each wheel and using the precise measurements to guide small adjustments to the suspension until the wheel is perfectly straight once again. You should at least have your alignment measured each time you have your tires rotated. If you regularly drive on rougher roads with more potholes and obstacles to bump against your wheels, you'll probably need your tires set straight more frequently. Don't let crooked tires ruin your daily drives. Visit Bill Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Highland Park, MI, today for quick, courteous service.

Once you're inside, you can start the van by pressing the ignition button. 5.
