Wheel Alignment in Ashland, Virginia

Service to Keep You Tracking Straight and True

What Does Wheel Alignment Involve?

Proper wheel alignment ensures your vehicle tracks straight and true. It is when your wheels run parallel to one another and perpendicular to the ground. If one or more of your wheels becomes misaligned, a wheel alignment service will need to be performed. This procedure involves adjusting the misaligned wheel’s camber, caster, or toe angle. The camber is how inward or outward the wheel tilts when viewed from the front, the caster is how forward or backward the steering axis is, and the toe is how inward or outward a wheel is turned from a straight-ahead position. Your vehicle can be positive or negative camber, positive or negative caster, and toe-in or toe-out. Precision matters when it comes to diagnosing wheel misalignment, which can affect your overall performance and tire health. We use cutting-edge technology at Ferber’s Tire & Auto Service in Ashland, Virginia, to measure and correct misalignment. Our wheel alignment service ensures smooth driving dynamics and long tire life.

Signs You Need Wheel Alignment

Wheel alignment service is performed on an as-needed basis; it is not similar to other maintenance tasks like oil changes in terms of frequency. However, we recommend annual alignment inspections to ensure your wheels and tires are positioned correctly. If your wheels get misaligned, you will likely notice a difference in how your vehicle drives. Common symptoms of poor alignment include a steering wheel that sits crooked even when you are driving straight, noisy steering, and pulling to the right or left as you drive. Other signs related to the tires: are uneven or rapid tire wear and squealing tires. Your alignment can get off track from driving over potholes, minor collisions, hitting curbs or road debris, and bad suspension parts. Any major adjustment to the tires or suspension can also warrant wheel alignment service; for example: if your vehicle gets new tires installed, undergoes suspension repair, or gets lifted or lowered. When you work with Ferber’s, we will restore your vehicle’s alignment to factory settings.
