The ideal time to check your car's wheel alignment is at least once a year or every six months.Since, misaligned tires cause uneven tire wear and will give your car unstable and inconsistent dynamic handling characteristics. These can lead to a serious accident during emergency maneuvers
There is no need to have a cars wheels aligned on a regular bases. It is a good idea though to have the alignment checked when installing new tires to prevent excess wear on the tires.
Some cars you can and some require 4 wheel alignment.
Not necessarily, but it should be checked anyway. The front wheels on your car are referenced off the back 'trailing' axle so if the rear axle was off then the entire alignment is off. Older vehicles and many pickups are referenced off the ' driving' or 'fixed' rear axle but the rear axle is non-ajustable where as your cars is. This is a more precise way of alignment.
There are a few possible causes, but probably the most common is wheel alignment and/or balance.
yes all cars and trucks need to get aligned at some point
If it is out of specification the rear, yes. If it is in specification, no. Makes sense, doesn't it! Some cars have adjustable alignment angles in the rear, and do indeed call for a four-wheel alignment. On many cars, there are no rear adjustments, but the front wheels should be aligned with respect to the rear, what is properly called a thrust-angle alignment. Unfortunately, many shops are not careful with their terminology and use the term "four-wheel alignment" when they really mean "thrust-angle alignment." Even so, they usually correctly distinguish between cars that have alignable rear ends and those that don't, and price the job accordingly. As to whether your car has an alignable rear end, you'll need to refer to a shop manual to find out.
A 1997 Dodge Stratus typically does not require a four-wheel alignment because it is a front-wheel-drive vehicle with a non-independent rear suspension. Generally, front-wheel-drive cars only need a front-wheel alignment. However, if there are issues with the rear suspension or if the vehicle has been involved in an accident, a four-wheel alignment may be beneficial. It's always best to consult a professional to assess the specific condition of your vehicle.
I just took my all wheel drive Subaru to Town Faire Tire today. Before the service man knew my car was an all wheel drive, he explained about alignments and said that all wheel drive cars often need alignment more frequently. At 12,000 the print out figures showed that my car needed one.
No. Get it to the shop and quick. At least its a soft tyre. Worst is you have brake or wheel alignment problems or a suspension component failure.
check c v shafts most common on Chrysler products but wil happen on all front wheel drive cars
I would say it's the wheel bearing. Get it looked at as soon as possible. If it collapses, you could cause a huge wreck.Other than that, it might not be the wheel, it maybe just a wet fan belt.Either way, get it checked!
