Your wheels need to be aligned to the recommended position as outlined in your vehicle's manufacturer specification.

Signs that you need to get your wheel alignments checked:
- Uneven tread wear.
- Vehicle pulling to the left or right.
- Your steering wheel is off centre when driving straight.
- Steering wheel vibration.
