Wheel Alignment in Chicago, IL

Signs And Adjustments

It’s a best practice to have the team at Zepeda Auto Service check your vehicle’s wheel alignment periodically. Still, you may notice some telling signs if your auto’s alignment has been compromised. One signal is a tug to one side as you’re trying to drive straight ahead. Another may be new odd noises that may be described as a high-pitched singing sound. Also, you may notice that your steering wheel doesn’t return to the center, making its orientation slightly off. The steering wheel may produce a vibrating sensation, as well, or feel as if it isn’t responding correctly when you turn it. Finally, uneven tire wear almost always indicates that your car needs a wheel alignment. You’ll likely notice that some spots still have plenty of tread while others are significantly worn. This is the result of uneven contact with the road that’s caused by the misalignment. When you bring your transportation in for wheel alignment, we’ll connect it to our alignment rack and computerized equipment to take precise measurements. Next, we’ll adjust the major suspension angles: camber, caster, toe, and thrust–to return them to the manufacturer’s recommended settings. The kind of auto you have will dictate the type of wheel alignment that we’ll do. If your car has a solid/fixed rear axle, it may require only a front-end alignment. It may also be a candidate for thrust alignment, the service that ensures the squaring of all four wheels with one another. In contrast, vehicles with all-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, and those with independent suspensions need four-wheel alignment.
