Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance

~1min read

Your vehicle's wheels were carefully aligned and balanced at the factory to give you the longest tire life and best overall performance.

In most cases, it is not necessary to realign the wheels.

However, if you notice unusual tire wear or your vehicle pulls to one side or the other, alignment may be required.

If you notice that your vehicle vibrates while driving on a smooth road, your wheels may need to be balanced.

CAUTION

Incorrect wheel weights can damage your vehicle's aluminum wheels. Use only approved wheel weights.
