Straight to the Point (Alignment Signs of Problems)

Posted June 1, 2025 5:18 AM

It’s just common sense that your vehicle will drive better if all the wheels are lined up with each other and the road the way the engineers intended.  When they’re not, that is called being out of alignment.   Here are some signs that your alignment has problems.

  • Your steering wheel isn’t straight when your vehicle goes straight down a straight road. This one’s pretty easy to notice.  If your vehicle’s logo on the wheel is tilted, that’s probably not the way designers wanted it to be. Bring it in and have us check it out.
  • Your steering wheel is vibrating on a smooth road or when you are accelerating.  While this could be caused by several different things, one possibility is misalignment.  If your steering wheel is shaking, it should be examined by a trained technician.
  • Your vehicle is pulling to one side without you wanting it to.  Sometimes the configuration of the road will cause it to pull slightly left or right.  But if you find yourself constantly correcting course to keep your vehicle headed straight down the road, that’s worth having us look at your alignment.
  • You’re going through tires like there’s no tomorrow. The tread on your tires should be wearing nice and evenly from the outside to the inside of the tire.  If the wear isn’t even, it could be your vehicle needs an alignment.

We have equipment designed to quickly and accurately measure your vehicle’s alignment.  We can make precise adjustments to make sure you are headed straight where you want to go.  Have your alignment checked regularly. It can help prevent more serious problems in the future and make your vehicle drive as beautifully as you remember it used to.

They are wonderful - came to town to see family. Five hour drive with no cruise control on our camper van. Other issues all related. They fit us in as soon as we called. Hard problem to solve but they did it! Had us back on the road quickly. Can not tell you how great they were and friendly to boot. Highly recommend. 🤩 quotes-image

Don’t know if I’ve had an auto repair group go above and beyond like DRA. James, Philippe, and the rest of the team have proven to me I can trust they will put service before dollars and that makes my decision easy when my vehicles need work. Thank you Dennis Road!quotes-image
