Heartland Service & Tire Keeps You in Line!

Ensuring your wheels are properly aligned is important for proper tire maintenance and every day wheel and tire stability. Wheel alignment services generally consist of adjusting your wheels to ensure they are parallel to one another, as well as perpendicular to the ground. There are three key angles that contribute to proper wheel alignment:Camber, Caster, Toe.

• Camber: the measure of the degree of perpendicular offset from the road service.
• Caster: the angle of your wheels are assessed and rotated to ensure all straight-line tracking is in proper working order.
• Toe: this is the angel of directional difference between the tire and the centerline of the vehicle.

Your front and rear wheels should always be perpendicular to the ground, and parallel to the wheel beside it–routine maintenance will keep your vehicle in alignment–offering big savings in the long run while maintaining optimal vehicle performance.

Benefits of Wheel Alignment

The key to keep your vehicle running safely and efficiently is regular wheel alignment evaluation and, if needed, wheel alignment services. Wheels that are out of alignment can force uneven tire wear. This can have a serious impact on performance, and leave your vehicle pulling in all sorts of directions, which is an incredibly dangerous situation to find yourself in. When left untreated, issues with wheel alignment can easily transform into steering and suspension issues, as driving with wheels that are out of alignment not only puts stress on your tires, but also significant wear out your suspension components.
