When you steer your Lexus, you want it to move in the right direction. If you discover that it’s drifting to one side, it may be that your wheels have come out of alignment. Everything from a minor collision to a regular commute on a bumpy road can cause your alignment to shift, so it’s important to have it checked out regularly. Read on with the service experts here at Lexus Downtown as we take a closer look at wheel alignment.
Why Wheel Alignment Is Important
Common Signs of Bad Wheel Alignment
You should get your wheel alignment checked out if you find yourself fighting your steering wheel, or you’ve recently experienced any of the following:
- Minor collisions with other vehicles
- Rough collisions with stationary objects such as curbs, potholes, or speed bumps
- Your new vehicle has reached 3,000 km
- You’ve changed your tires for the season
- You’ve had new tires installed
- Any part of your suspension has recently been repaired or changed
Should You Regularly Get Your Alignment Checked?
It is recommended you have your vehicle’s wheel alignment checked at least once per year, whenever you have your seasonal tires swapped. If you feel that you drive more than the average, you may consider having it examined every time you get our oil checked. The good news is, wheel alignment checks don’t take long, so there’s no harm in asking for one any time you notice your steering is off for any reason.
