How do you know if your wheels need alignment?

• Steering wheel pulls to one side, even on flat roads — a clear sign of misalignment.
• Uneven or accelerated tire wear visible across tread patterns indicates alignment issues.
• Vehicle vibrates or the steering wheel shakes at certain speeds; suspension or balance issues often accompany misalignment.
• Poor handling, wandering or the need to constantly correct your course while driving.
• If any warning lights related to stability or traction systems appear, have a certified dealership check alignment and sensor calibration.
