Auto mechanic told you to replace your rear tires and you did.now your steering wheel shakes when you are driving what does this mean Do you need to replace your front tires now too?
shaking is generally caused by out of balance wheels and tires,not by alignment alignment will cause your car not to run true,and your tires to wear uneven any tire place will check and balance your tires.just go to a good tire place Sounds like your alignment is off this shouldent cost you a lot to fix. (the guy who replaced your rear tires should do it for free considering)Be sure to have a different mechanic check things out.you might try having all wheels balanced before you buy new tires.go to a reputable tire shop and they will do the job right. If your OLD rear tires were moved to the front or they are the NEW tires, your FRONT tires are probably out of balance or the rim (wheel) is bent. Take it back to the tire store and see if they'll balance the tires for you, that should take away the vibration. Alignment can cause pulling or rapid tire wear, but it doesn't cause vibration. Also have the tire store check out the suspension. See if there are loose parts. If there are loose parts or if the vehicle needs alignment, DON'T have the tire store do it for you! Ask around, see where body shops, dealers and other mechanics send their work for alignment. If they do it themselves, don't bother. If you can find a place in your area that seems to contract all of the alignment... that's the place to go. Alignment specialists are often less expensive and do a far better job.
Where is the best place to buy tires at wholesale cost?
Where do you buy tires? You can get wholesale prices on tires on our website. If you need to purchase in a store just let your fingers do the walking in the yellow pages. If you want to see if any store is offering a good deal on tires such as buy four times and get a free wheel alignment or buy three tires and get the fourth one free. You can go to Walmart, Tire Discounters and the Goodyear store. You can also go online to find a good deal but it would probably cost you a lot of expense to ship them to you.
Do you need an alignment with new tires?
Not 100% sure, but if they were different style or brand, I'd say they had to be. It is always a good idea, however if the old tires wore evenly, the car didn't drift or pull with the new tires, then you could pass on the alignment and keep an eye on the way the wear. Rotate every 5-8000 miles. As a service center manager, I always suggest an alignment with the purchase of new tires for several reasons. 1. When your vehicle is in alignment you are preventing premature tire wear. This translates to $$ saved in the long run by not having to buy tires as frequently. 2. All vehicles' suspensions wear over a period of time, by having your alignment checked periodically you can prevent a worn part from becoming a broken or failed part. This is a simple safety issue in this regard. (The alignment technician should thoroughly check the suspension BEFORE doing an alignment to spot any conditions/parts that should be addressed.) 3. By keeping your car aligned you can increase your gas mileage and tire life. Last but not least, your mechanic/garage should provide you with a printout showing your alignment specs before AND after any adjustments have been made. Ask your salesperson/technician/manager to explain the printout and how it will affect your vehicle. Most shops will offer not to charge you if no adjustments were needed. ANSWER: NO! although it is recommended, putting new tires on your vehicle doesn't change the alignment, it will still be out of alignment, or in alignment when you put your new tires on.
Should wechange all 4 tires if it's not all wheel drive?
doent matter if vehicle is all wheel drive or not. you should only change tires that are worn out,unless you got lots of money and just like to spend tire companies will tell you to rotate and change new tires,because the more you buy, the more money they make. if it is not worn out, why change it
