With an alignment, your vehicle’s suspension geometry is set to an optimal configuration that ensures your tires contact the road just right.
Often, alignments and wheel balancing are done at the same time. Note that a tire rotation is a completely different procedure, in which your vehicle’s tires and wheels are swapped into different corners of the car, to help evenly distribute wear. Inspect your tires regularly, on both inner and outer sidewall surfaces, for signs of gouges, lumps or other damage. Anything unusual should be inspected professionally if detected.
According to OK Tire, these customers typically report unusual vibrations or sounds, poor handling, bent rims, cracked rims , structural tire damage and torn sidewalls, and broken or damaged components like ball joints, struts, and shocks.A ball joint is like a human hip-joint: basically, a ball-in-socket style joint that allows the parts connected to it to move, bend, and pivot against one another.
