Acura Wheel Alignment Services in San Antonio
Wheel alignment is the process of making sure that all four wheels point in the same direction. This ensures that you avoid drifting, the vehicle drives straight and optimally, and that tire life is protected.
Owners should have their Acura wheel alignment checked and/or performed every six months or 6,000 miles (whichever comes first). However, we strongly encourage you to schedule an appointment with us immediately if you engage in or notice the following:
- Driving often on poorly maintained roads with imperfections or potholes
- You notice uneven tire wear
- You detect noticeable steering wheel vibration at both low and high speeds
- The car pulls (involuntarily drifts to the right or left when driving)
- Noticeable steering wheel tilt (there’s a tilt if your Acura can’t drive straight unless the steering wheel is turned)
- You observe uneven tire inflation even if you inflate them regularly or at the same time
Why Wheel Alignment is Crucial For Your Acura’s Tires
Poor wheel alignment has the potential to damage your Acura’s tires in the following ways:
- Tire tread becomes smooth on one side and sharp on the other: a process called feathering that can effectively destroy the tire
- Worn exterior or interior tread, also known as camber tread: increases the chance of tire decay
- Tread block wear, commonly called heel and toe wear: an effective way to destroy tires quickly
