4 Signs Your Mitsubishi Needs a Tire Alignment From Your Mitsubishi Dealership

A tire alignment is one of the important services that helps your tires last longer. Wheel balancing and tire rotations are other important tire-related services you should visit the Mitsubishi dealership for regularly. Alignments don’t just help your tires last as long as possible, though; they fix problems that can arise when your tires are out of alignment.

4 Signs Your Mitsubishi Needs a Tire Alignment From Your Mitsubishi Dealership

1. You Have to Adjust How You’re Steering

If your car can no longer be steered the way it usually is, and you have to adjust how you’re steering to get the car to go in the direction you need it to, then it’s likely that your wheels need to be realigned with the rest of your vehicle. Needing to correct your steering is often caused by the car pulling to one side while you drive, and that issue is almost always caused by the wheels being stuck slightly turned to one side.

2. You Can See There’s an Alignment Problem

If your wheels are substantially out of alignment with the rest of your car, then you may be able to see that there’s a problem. The steering wheel could be tilted to one side, or you could see the problem with the car’s wheels themselves. They might be turned to one side, like you’re trying to make a right or left turn. Different wheels could be slightly turned in different directions.

The wheels could also be tilted away from or toward the car, so the surface of the tires may not be flat on the ground.

3. You Experience Uncomfortable Car Rides

When your vehicle’s wheels are out of alignment, car rides can become uncomfortable with more vibrations than usual. This often happens if some of your wheels are facing in opposite directions. For example, if one of your wheels is turned to the left and another is turned to the right, then your car will be pulled in two directions at once, causing more vibrations than you’re used to. The steering wheel could also vibrate.

4. You Notice a Lack of Responsiveness

Slight wheel misalignment can make your car feel like it’s simply not behaving normally. It’s like the car is less responsive than usual, even if it’s not pulling to one side or causing other problems yet.
