4 Signs Your Hyundai Requires a Wheel Alignment


Steering Wheel is Vibrating 

If you notice your steering wheel vibrating randomly, especially during turns or if your car is going a certain speed, it could be a sign that your wheels are misaligned. Common causes for this issue include driving over rough roads, including potholes and train tracks. 

Tire Wear is Uneven 

While it’s natural for tires to wear down over time, if one side of your tires is deteriorating faster than the other, it might be a sign that it’s time for a wheel alignment. This is an extremely common symptom and there are multiple ways you can spot this. If you notice the tread on one side of a tire is worn down and the other isn’t, then it’s time for an alignment. Another indicator is if the pattern of wear on the surface of one tire is uneven compared to the others. 

Vehicle Pulls to One Side

Another indicator of misaligned wheels is if your vehicle is skewing to one side of the road. If your wheels are correctly aligned, the vehicle will drive straight without you having to adjust the steering wheel constantly, a task that can make driving uncomfortable. Unaligned wheels aren’t parallel, and thus, won’t point in the correct direction. 

Tire Noises

If you hear humming or squealing noises coming from your tires, it might mean it’s time to get your tires aligned. Unaligned tires can lead to friction between your wheel and the road, leading to these noises. Other sources for these sounds include rough contact between the tire and the road, as well as noises from the air chamber.
