Toyota vehicles are well known for their refined, comfortable, and enjoyable driving experience. But misaligned wheels can make your drive much less enjoyable. What’s more, they can cost you lots of money and even put your life in danger. That’s why we recommend heading to Bommarito Toyota’s service center, serving Bridgeton and St. Charles, for all-wheel alignment service. Learn more about what this service entails here, and then head on in.
When your Toyota was made, its wheels were perfectly aligned to provide a smooth, comfortable, and safe ride. However, the wheels can get knocked out of alignment over time. Sometimes, this misalignment is caused by big jolts, like running over a curb or hitting a pothole. But these aren’t the only things that can cause misalignment. Many times, the small bumps that come from daily driving add up, knocking your wheels out of alignment gradually.
One of the best-known symptoms of misaligned wheels is a vehicle that pulls to one side or the other. This is undoubtedly an important symptom to watch out for, but it’s far from the only one—and it’s not always noticeable. Misalignment may cause smaller symptoms that are harder to see, like decreased fuel efficiency, a rougher ride, and increased tire wear. If left unchecked for too long, misaligned wheels can cause the tires to wear down unevenly, which will make it necessary to change them sooner than usual.
At Bommarito Toyota, we recommend having a four-wheel alignment performed once or twice a year. This will ensure that your Toyota stays on the straight and narrow.
When you bring your Toyota in for an alignment, our technicians will inspect the camber, toe, and caster angles, adjusting them as necessary. If you have a two-wheel-drive model or a vehicle with a solid rear axle, a front-end two-wheel alignment is all that’s necessary. But if your Toyota is AWD with independent suspension, it’s best to have an alignment performed on all four wheels. This is called an all-wheel alignment or a four-wheel alignment.
When you’re ready to schedule your next all-wheel alignment, use the online service scheduler at Bommarito Toyota. We look forward to serving you and helping you keep your Toyota at its best!
