During vehicle operation, wheel balance is lost. Over time, driving can become dangerous because misaligned wheels are harder to control and the vehicle becomes unstable. To eliminate these issues, a wheel alignment performed by experienced specialists is required.
Signs of damaged wheel alignment
If you feel instability and discomfort while driving, find it difficult to maintain a straight path when releasing the steering wheel, and the car slowly drifts to the left or right, it means immediate wheel alignment is necessary. Even if you do not notice significant problems, alignment is advisable to ensure your wheels are straight and stable. Visit the “Agrija” car service in Vilnius. Our experienced specialists will inspect your vehicle and perform a high-quality wheel alignment. Our workshop uses the computerized Hunter alignment stand.
When is wheel alignment needed?
Regular checks after driving a certain mileage are essential for every vehicle, regardless of how well it seems to function. Manufacturers specify required parameters and tolerance limits for each car. Ignoring them can reduce driving quality and compromise your car’s safety. Regular inspection is necessary in the following cases:
- After driving 10-15 thousand kilometers (exact figure depends on your vehicle, see manufacturer’s recommendations)
- After body repair work
- After suspension repairs (including steering arms, shock absorbers, track rod ends, tie rods, steering columns, silent block replacement, etc.)
- After impacts in potholes or collisions with obstacles, especially if the steering wheel was not in a horizontal position at the time
- When you notice gradual wear of the tire tread
- When the steering wheel is hard to turn and difficult to return to its original position
- When you feel the car “floating” on the road
