Wheel Alignment Service in Sheridan, WY
No matter if you’re behind the wheel of a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram, you should always strive to have a vehicle that is optimized for safe and efficient driving. Getting regular examinations and wheel alignments from our Service Department at Sheridan Motors CDJR can help in that endeavor. We’ll explain this process and its benefits below.
Wheel Alignment Purpose
Every time you accidentally bump the curb while driving, hit a pothole, or go over a speed hump, the angle at which your wheel meets the ground is shifted. Over time, these minor events add up to a major adjustment and begin to affect the way that the model operates. Eventually, your car will have less accurate steering, worse fuel economy, and other problems. A wheel alignment is designed to return your Chrysler Pacifica or Jeep Wrangler to its designed settings, restoring its ability to provide comfortable and safe rides to Marshall Park.
Understanding the Wheel Alignment Process
Once you realize that your car needs a wheel alignment or our team recommends it, you’ll want to make an appointment with us. Since this project doesn’t take very long, you can bring your car to the Express Lane for rapid service. As you settle in at our location and use the free Wi-Fi, our technicians will take your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram into the service bay and attach the wheel alignment machine. That specialized equipment will take the current measurements of the wheel angles. Specifically, three numbers are important to this process, and they are the caster, toe, and camber. Once we compare the current state of your wheels to the factory specifications, our highly trained technicians will begin to manually adjust them back to their required settings. When we’re finished, we’ll check your tire pressure and send you back on the roads of Sheridan, where you’ll experience smoother, more efficient rides.
Warning Signs of a Misaligned Vehicle
The average vehicle needs a wheel alignment every 10,000 miles, but it’s important to check your Owner’s Manual to see the manufacturer’s more specific recommendations. In the meantime, you may strike a pothole or some other obstacle that necessitates a wheel alignment service. You’ll realize that your Ram 2500 or Jeep Compass needs this service when your steering wheel begins to vibrate when you drive or the vehicle doesn’t travel precisely in the direction you’re trying to go. Additionally, your vehicle’s tires may start wearing down more quickly on one part of the rubber than another. The car could even start to pull to one side as you drive along I-90, leading to a reduced ability to control it. Don’t let your driving experiences suffer.
