Jeep SUVs and trucks are built to tackle the toughest terrains. Conquer even the most difficult trails. Withstand even the harshest of elements. However, wear and tear are inevitable. Routine Jeep® service at Fields Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM Asheville, including regular wheel alignments, can help.
What is Wheel Alignment Service?
As the name implies, during wheel alignment service our trained technicians will realign your wheels. We adjust the angle that they meet the road, so it meets the manufacturer’s specifications. The process is completed to ensure your vehicle can drive straight and won’t pull off to the side.
Wheel alignment service helps limit undue wear to your tires. It can also reduce unnecessary drag, which forces your vehicle to consume more fuel than necessary.
How Often Do You Need Wheel Alignment Service?
There are lots of factors that can affect your vehicle’s alignment. For example, minor collisions and even hitting potholes or curbs can lead to a misalignment. If this happens, it’s important to have your wheels inspected.
Even if there aren’t any accidents involved, you still want to schedule regular wheel alignment service. Typically, we recommend you align your wheels every 6,000 miles. However, we recommend checking your owner’s manual to see if your specific vehicle has other needs.
What are Signs That My Wheels Have Become Misaligned?
If your vehicle shows signs of a misalignment, make sure that you visit our service center sooner than later. Signs of misalignment include:
- Your vehicle pulls to one side when you’re trying to drive straight
