Wheel Alignment Service in Lancaster, CA

At Tom's Tire and Auto Repair, we offer professional wheel alignment services. When your vehicle is manufactured, the wheels are aligned to ensure optimal performance and handling. However, everyday driving, potholes, and bumps can cause your wheel alignment to shift. A wheel alignment is an important maintenance procedure that ensures your wheels are properly positioned according to the manufacturer's specifications.

During a wheel alignment, our technicians use specialized equipment to measure and adjust the angles of the wheels. These angles include the camber, toe, and caster. The camber refers to the inward or outward tilt of the wheel. The toe refers to the alignment of the wheels as viewed from above, whether they point slightly inward or outward. The caster angle pertains to the forward or backward tilt of the steering axis.

Signs My Vehicle Isn't Aligned Properly

Here are some common signs of misalignment:

• Uneven or rapid tire wear
• Vehicle pulling to one side
• Steering wheel vibration
• Off-center steering wheel
• Tire scalloping or cupping

If you notice any of these signs, have your alignment checked. Ignoring misalignment can lead to uneven tire wear, decreased fuel efficiency, and compromised handling.

In addition to addressing signs of misalignment, wheel alignment inspections are recommended when purchasing new tires and installing them on your vehicle. Proper alignment ensures that your new tires have the best chance at providing the mileage you expect from them, allowing you to get the most out of your purchase.
