Wheel alignment is an essential part of BMW service. This adjustment keeps your tires working together, preventing uneven wear, and delivering the precision BMW performance drivers love. If you’ve noticed any of these signs of an issue, visit our team at Fields BMW Orlando and Winter Park for service as soon as possible.
Tires Look out of Alignment
Sometimes, you can tell if your tires are misaligned with the naked eye. If your tires look visibly out of alignment when you’re parked, it’s time to have our team take a look at your drivetrain. One or two tires may also have more wear visible wear on them than the others, which may mean that, in addition to re-alignment, you need a new set.
Steering Is Off-Center
When your steering wheel is facing straight ahead, your tires should be, too. If when you park and your tires are pointed forward, your steering wheel isn’t properly aligned, you probably need tire alignment. You may also notice this while driving, so if your car has started pulling to the side when you’re driving straight, you may also have an issue.
Poor Ride Quality
If you’ve started noticing more bumps on the road, it may be because of misaligned tires. When your tires are misaligned, your suspension has less ability to absorb the shock of hitting a bump, so you feel more of the force behind the wheel. It also requires more energy, giving you less fuel efficiency, so if you’ve been filling up more often than usual lately, it could also be a sign of an issue.
