Wheel Alignment
Car pulling or tires wearing unevenly? Precision alignment for better handling and longer tire life.
**Definitional opener:** A wheel alignment sets your suspension angles so the tires meet the road straight and true. At Lake Elmo Repair in Lake Elmo, we measure all the angles and adjust to spec — so your car tracks straight and your tires stop wearing out early.
If your car pulls to one side, your wheel's off-center on a straight road, or your new tires are wearing on one edge, your alignment is off — and it's quietly eating your tires. Lake Elmo Repair straightens it out for Lake Elmo drivers. Call (651) 770-7699 or book online.
Signs you're out of alignment
- The car pulls left or right on a flat, straight road
- The steering wheel sits crooked when you're going straight
- Uneven tire wear (one edge gone)
- The steering feels loose or wanders
- You hit a curb or big pothole recently
What we do
- Measure camber, caster, and toe on all four wheels
- Compare to the manufacturer's spec
- Adjust to bring it back in range
- Inspect suspension/steering parts that affect alignment
- Road-test to confirm it tracks straight
Why alignment protects your tires
A small misalignment scrubs the tread off as you drive — you can ruin a new set in a few thousand miles. Alignment is cheap insurance for an expensive set of tires.
