MAZDA Wheel Alignment Service 101

Mazda Wheel Alignment Service

Every time you go over a bump in the road or travel through difficult terrain, your wheels and tires absorb a lot of shock, and the original orientation of your wheels goes out of whack. Factor in all of the times this happens, and you’ll likely need to visit us for Mazda wheel alignment services regularly. If you begin to experience any abnormalities with your wheels or tires, visit us at Medlin Mazda to have our team of factory-trained technicians help you.

What Is Wheel Alignment?

Put simply, tire or wheel alignment is when we adjust your suspension and tires to their original factory state. Each vehicle has carefully calculated angles at which your wheels should be for optimal traction and protection. We use a computer system to view these angles in real-time so we can adjust your wheels back to where they should be without issue.

There are three Mazda parts that our techs will observe when you come to our service center for wheel alignment service — the camber, toe, and caster. Most tread wear can be attributed to a misalignment with one of these three parts. For example, the angle of your caster helps balance your vehicle when steering or cornering, so if this becomes misaligned you may have trouble with stability.

How Do I Know If I Need Wheel Alignment?

Thankfully, there are several symptoms you can look out for at home so you can know when it’s time to visit us for service. No matter which one of our new Mazda vehicles you’re currently driving, you can look out for these warning signs:

  • Uneven tread wear
  • Vibrating steering wheel while driving
  • Steering wheel goes off center when driving straight
  • Car pulls to the side when going straight
