When to do the alignment and balancing of your car?

It may happen that the car "goes" to one side or the tire "wears" unevenly. This occurs, among other reasons, due to problems of alignment and balancing caused by poor maintenance of the streets and routes.

Find out when is the best time to align and balance your vehicle.

  • It is advisable to do both the balancing and the alignment every 5.000 kilometers driven.
  • When a tire needs to be changed, take the opportunity to check alignment and balance.
  • Slight or severe wheel shake may indicate, among other things, that it is time to realign the car.
  • If the car "goes" somewhere with the steering wheel loose or when the brakes are applied, that indicates that the alignment is not in perfect condition.
  • It is common for drivers to reposition their tires. Every time that is done, it is advised to redo the rocking.
  • Any and all repairs to the tires can cause a change in their structure and, consequently, affect the balance.
  • Balancing only the front wheels many times does not end the problem. Ideally, do it on both the front and rear wheels.

Both external factors (holes, burro hills, metal devices inserted in the asphalt, small collisions) and internal factors (poor brake maintenance, excess load, chassis, axles, among others) directly or indirectly influence proper operation. alignment and balancing.

    Any question? When I release the wheel and the car does not throw me at all but when I step on the brake it goes to the left, it means that the car is misaligned, thank you very much I hope you help

      there you have a braking problem and you have to check the front calipers and verify how the caliper pistons are and change brake fluid to the entire system and bleed the system well and more especially if the vehicle is with ABS brakes

    no, it is not misaligned, you have a problem with the braking system, because the problem appears when you apply the brake pedal, maybe lack of brake pads
    possible ostruded brake hose, or glued caliper

    the alignment serves to avoid premature wear on your tires and that the direction goes nowhere ok.

    A. Ask why. When I step on the brake, the steering wheel tightens, which is it. Problem
