Your car’s alignment plays a critical role in how it handles, how your tires wear, and even how safe your drive feels. At Don & Harold’s Car Care in Long Beach, California, we often see drivers unaware that they’re due for a wheel alignment—until uneven tire wear or steering issues start to show. Knowing the signs early can help you avoid costly repairs down the road.
One of the most common signs your vehicle may need a wheel alignment is pulling to one side while driving. If your steering wheel isn’t centered when you’re driving straight or your car drifts left or right, that’s a red flag. Another key indicator is uneven or rapid tire wear. Misalignment can cause certain parts of your tires to wear faster than others, shortening their lifespan and affecting your car’s grip on the road.
You might also feel vibration in the steering wheel or notice that your steering feels loose or unresponsive. These symptoms can make driving feel less stable, especially at higher speeds. Hitting a pothole, curb, or driving on rough roads can all throw your wheels out of alignment, even if the impact seems minor.
