Regularly having the alignment of your vehicle checked can extend the life of your tires. That is just one of the reasons that the team at Green Subaru recommends having routine maintenance performed. Let's look at what an alignment does, and why it is so important.
An alignment fine-tunes your suspension to ensure that everything is sitting where it should be for optimized performance. Alignment gets thrown off by hitting curbs or potholes, as well as when you are involved in an accident. Even a seemingly minor accident has the potential to shift your alignment. Normal wear and tear may also cause this problem, which is why you should have your vehicle checked every six months or so.
The big reason to keep up on your alignment is so that your tires wear evenly. If they are not, it impacts your ride comfort and even your fuel efficiency. Having your alignment checked will help ensure you do not need to buy new tires more often than you should.
