If the wheels are out of alignment, your vehicle will shift to one side or another, even if the road is level and straight. This will require constant correction—but wheel alignment doesn’t only affect the handling of your ride.
When wheels are out of alignment, it can cause the tires to wear unevenly and faster than normal. Even if the alignment problem is fixed and the tires are worn, they may not make full contact with the ground, possibly affecting control of the vehicle. Excessive wear on the steering system is also possible, leading to major and very expensive repairs.
