Vehicles are complex machines, and even though Mazda cars are made with precision and care, they still need routine maintenance and occasional repairs to safely stay on the road. Thankfully, our Mazda service team here at Heritage Mazda Catonsville has your maintenance and repair needs covered.
We can tackle a wide range of potential issues with your car, including wheel alignment, to ensure you get the most life out of your car and the best possible experience in the driver’s seat.
What Is Wheel Alignment?
In order for you to experience smooth and responsive acceleration and steering from your Mazda car, your wheels need to be properly aligned. Put simply, wheel alignment refers to how straight your wheels are compared to each other.
Ideally, your wheels should appear parallel to each other when viewed from the front and back, as well as from below, when the steering wheel is in its default position.
Any deviations from this will require wheel alignment service to ensure your car gets the best performance and fuel economy possible.
Signs Your Car Needs Wheel Alignment Service
Your steering and acceleration should feel pretty seamless when your car has proper wheel alignment. However, you should keep an eye out for any signs of wheel alignment issues, such as:
- Uneven tire wear with one tire wearing down faster than the others or one spot wearing down more than the rest of the tire?
- Rapid tire wear
- The steering wheel pulling to one side when you let go
- Noisy steering
- Hearing a persistent squealing noise from your tires
If you notice any of these issues, or other unusual driving dynamics, be sure to visit our Baltimore Mazda dealership right away. We’ll also keep an eye out for any wheel alignment issues during your routine maintenance appointments.
