Knowing when your vehicle needs a Mazda wheel alignment can save drivers a lot of trouble down the road. Not only can misaligned wheels cost you a fortune on tire replacements, but they can eventually lead to even more expensive repairs if left unattended. To stay ahead of these issues, here are three warning signs that may indicate it’s time for a wheel alignment.
Off-Center Steering Wheel
Your vehicle’s steering wheel was meticulously designed to be perfectly centered while your wheels are forward facing. If you find that your steering wheel is off-center while you are driving straight, that could be a sign that the wheels on your front axle are misaligned. An off-center steering wheel may not bother drivers that much, but it could be an omen of costly future repairs.
Pulling to the Side
More seriously, if you find that your vehicle is pulling either left or right while driving straight it’s likely time for a realignment. Be sure to check all four tires if you find yourself in this situation, as this could also be caused by low tire pressure. If you find that all four tires are healthy and pressurized, then the culprit is most likely the alignment.
Uneven Tire Wear
The road will eventually take its toll on your vehicle’s tires, but this usually occurs in a somewhat uniform fashion. If you find that one or two of your vehicle’s tires are wearing down a lot faster than the others, that could be a sign the wheels have fallen out of alignment.
