Here at Salvatore Automotive, we use state-of-the-art equipment. The Hunter’s HawkEye™ High Definition Digital Imaging Wheel Alignment uses four precision cameras to measure the position and orientation of targets mounted on each wheel of your car. The aligner computer uses the information to calculate your car’s current alignment measurements and compress them to the car’s manufacturer’s (O.E.M) specifications.
How important is wheel alignment?
The average car is driven about 12,000 miles per year. A car that is misaligned by just 0.34 degrees (0.17 inches) will drag the tires sideways for more than 68 miles by the end of the year. Misalignment conditions can cause greatly accelerated tire wear, poor fuel economy, and excessive wear on other suspension parts.
What are the symptoms of incorrect alignment?
- Excessive or uneven tire wear.
- The car pulls to the left or right.
- Feeding of looseness or wandering.
- Steering wheel vibration or shimmy.
- Steering wheel is not centered while car is moving forward.
