When a vehicle is driven in a straight line, the wheels on the left side of the vehicle should be parallel with the wheels on the right. If one wheel is slightly off this axis, the vehicle may want to pull, or drift, to that side.
Manufacturers have wheel alignment specifications for each make and model of vehicle. Wheel alignment checks are carried out by garages that specialize in tire sales and repair.
Wheel alignment equipment checks a vehicle's suspension and steering angles to make sure they are properly adjusted. Suspension and steering components that are even slightly out of adjustment can cause tire wear.
About this Repair: Wheel Alignment
Why this happens
An alignment may be needed if the vehicle does not drive in a straight line when the steering wheel is held straight.
If the vehicle is out of alignment, it may feel unsteady at highway speeds and may have a tendency to pull to one side when driving in a straight line.
