The vehicle's wheels are aligned and carefully balanced at the factory to minimize wear and maximize vehicle performance.

In most cases, wheel alignment does not need to be readjusted. However, if you notice excessive tire wear or pulling to one side or the other, wheel alignment may need to be adjusted.

If the vehicle vibrates while driving on a smooth road, the wheels may need to be rebalanced.

CAUTION Incorrect wheel balance weights can damage the vehicle's aluminum wheels. Use only wheel balance weights approved by the manufacturer.
