SUV on a wheel alignment rack with alignment targets clamped to the wheels — Wheel alignments, now done in house.

Signs your alignment is out

The vehicle pulls to one side on a straight road
The steering wheel sits off centre when you drive straight
Tires wear faster on the inside or outside edge
The steering feels loose or wanders

Why it matters

A vehicle that's out of alignment wears its tires faster and is harder to control on slippery winter roads. On newer vehicles, the alignment also affects how driver assistance cameras and sensors see the road, which is why alignment comes before any ADAS recalibration.

After a collision

If a hit involved a wheel, the suspension or the frame, the alignment should be checked as part of the repair. With a full time journeyman technician on staff, Fix Auto Sherwood North now finishes the alignment in house, so it's part of the same job.

Common Questions

Wheel Alignment questions.

How do I know if I need a wheel alignment?

Common signs are a vehicle that pulls to one side, a steering wheel that sits off centre when you drive straight, and tires wearing faster on one edge.

Can hitting a curb or a snowbank affect my alignment?

Yes. A hard hit on a curb, a pothole or a frozen snowbank can knock the wheels out of alignment, even when nothing looks damaged.

Should I get an alignment after a collision?

If the impact involved a wheel, the suspension or the frame, the alignment should be checked as part of the repair. Our guide to alignment after a collision explains why.

Do new tires need an alignment?

It's a good idea to check it when you put on new tires, so they wear evenly from the start.
