With the winter season around the corner, Midland Honda is offering a $19.95 alignment check. This assures proper traction and tire wear with your soft compound winter tires. Below is some information about vehicle alignments and why it is important.
In its most basic form, a wheel alignment consists of
adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are perpendicular to the
ground and parallel to each other. The purpose of these adjustments is
maximum tire life and a vehicle that tracks straight and true when driving
along a straight and level road.
Wheel Alignment is often confused with Wheel Balancing.
The two really have nothing to do with each other except for the fact that they
affect ride and handling. If a wheel is out of balance, it will cause a
vibration at highway speeds that can be felt in the steering wheel and/or the
seat. If the alignment is out, it can cause excessive tire wear and
steering or tracking problems.
