Why it matters around Zion
Spring pothole season on the county roads and side streets around Zion, Beach Park and Waukegan knocks wheels out of alignment every year. If your car started pulling or your steering wheel sits crooked after a hard hit, have the alignment checked before it wears out a set of tires.
Questions and answers
How often should I get an alignment?
Check it once a year, with new tires, after a hard pothole or curb hit, and after steering or suspension work.
Can an alignment fix a vibration?
A vibration at speed is usually a balance or tire problem. Alignment fixes pulling, off center steering and uneven wear. We check both.
Why does my car still pull after an alignment?
A pull can also come from a tire, a sticking brake caliper or a worn suspension part. We road test and inspect to find the cause.
