Signs to Align

If you are constantly turning your wheel from center to prevent it from drifting to the side, it could be time to realign. Another obvious sign your vehicle is out-of-alignment is if the tires have uneven wear. The first thing you should do is check your tire pressure, and if that seems to be fine then its time to head to the auto shop. Some vehicles require all wheels be aligned while some only require the front two. It would not be a bad idea to have your vehicle realigned annually. A good time to have it done is when you have your tires rotated, that way if you vehicle is aligned correctly you won’t be adding any unnecessary wear to your new tires. Safety is important, and having your vehicle properly aligned means you can drive straight and correctly handle your vehicle.

Signs of Bad Hub Bearings

The first sign that your hub bearings are in bad shape is noise such as grinding, squealing, or moaning. Action needs to be taken if you hear these noises as it can result in loss of control with steering or your wheel could even separate from your vehicle. You can check your hub bearing on your own by raising your vehicle and spinning the tires. If they make any of the mentioned noises, they need to be fixed.
