Are there any tell tale signs on my tires that will let me know if I have an alignment problem?

When the wear of a tire's tread is greater on one side than the other, this can indicate an alignment problem IF the tire on the opposite side of the axle does not show this same alignment problem.

For the most part many people do not need an alignment, this is the first thing that they will think is the problem, while most of the time it is something completely different. Make sure all your tires are properly inflated, and then try balancing your tires, that is the more common problem then needing an alignment and it will save a lot of money. The 17 yr old buick racer

How do you know when your auto alignment needs to be checked?
Auto alignment can go out of whack when you hit a curb or are in an accident. The best way to tell if your alignment needs to adjusted is to find a straight empty road, speed up accordingly, and then lift your hands less than an inch off of the wheel. While under no power, if the car drifts to either the left or right then you might want professional advice on the steering/alignment. Most places, after changing your oil and rotating tires will confirm proper alignment.
