#bad wheel alignment

We performed a tire alignment on a Ford Crown Victoria earlier this week. It was pulling to the left and the steering wheel was uncentered. 

Uneven tire wear is another possible sign that a car has a bad wheel alignment.

A steering wheel being off center can be a tell-tale sign that a tire alignment is needed. This problem was addressed on a Honda HR-V. 

The front and rear toe were adjusted. We also check the caster and camber during car alignments.

Bad suspension parts can impact a vehicle’s alignment. An Acura had an off center steering wheel that was caused by a bent control arm.

Other types of suspension wear – such as tie rod ends, pittman arms, and ball joints – may also lead to a bad wheel alignment.

Car alignments can be thrown off by certain road conditions, as well. These include potholes, construction sites, curbs, speed bumps and curbs.

A Honda Pilot has a bad wheel alignment. When an alignment check was performed, we noticed that the toe was out of specification.

Our technicians also check the caster and camber during a tire alignment. They look for broken and worn suspension parts, as well.

A Honda Civic is in need of a four-wheel alignment.

As it’s accelerating, the car pulls to the left side. The wheels also appear to have negative camber.

Camber is one of the adjustments we check during a car alignment. Caster and toe are other specifications.

Other than pulling to one side, you may notice a crooked steering wheel or uneven tire wear when a vehicle has a bad wheel alignment.
