Wheel Alignment in Lindenhurst and Queens, NY
What is Wheel Alignment?
Wheel alignment refers to the relationship between your vehicle's body and the road, as well as the alignment of the wheels to one another. It's important for traction, handling, and the longevity of tires and suspension components. M-Spec Performance in Lindenhurst and Queens, New York, can help you correct wheel alignment and related problems. It's a great idea to have us check the alignment periodically and to have a wheel alignment performed when you get a new set of tires. We're also here to help if you notice any signs of trouble between these visits.
What Happens If You Keep Driving?
If you think continuing to drive with poor wheel alignment is okay, think again. While you can usually drive across town to reach our shop when you suspect an alignment issue, doing so habitually can cause damage and pose a danger. When the suspension angles are off, your tires spend less time making contact with the road. This leads to reduced traction, an obvious safety concern. Poor alignment can also reduce your ability to handle your car, particularly as you're turning. Beyond that, driving with poor alignment can cause significant, expensive damage over time. One of these nasty surprises is premature tire wear. Driving with misaligned wheels causes your tires to wear significantly more in some areas than others. You'll likely have to replace your set sooner than you had planned. Additionally, long-term use of your vehicle under these conditions puts extra stress on suspension and body parts. You'll likely cause undue wear to the shocks/struts, ball joints, control arms, and bushings. The tie rod ends, steering knuckle, and wheel bearings can also be impacted. Thus, delaying necessary service is not a good idea. You could compromise your safety and that of your passengers, and you'll spend more money in the long run making repairs than you would have spent on wheel alignment.
