Why a Wheel Alignment is Important?

At Murray Hyundai Winnipeg, we know that proper wheel alignment is one of the most important aspects of vehicle maintenance—yet it’s often overlooked. Correct alignment ensures your wheels are positioned precisely to Hyundai’s manufacturer specifications, which protects your tires, suspension, and overall driving safety.

Here are the top reasons why regular wheel alignments matter:

• Tire Wear: Proper alignment prevents uneven tread wear, helping your tires last longer and maintain peak performance.
• Handling and Stability: Correctly aligned wheels improve steering response, vehicle stability, and overall driving confidence.
• Fuel Efficiency: Misaligned wheels increase rolling resistance, which forces your engine to work harder. A proper alignment helps improve fuel economy and save money at the pump.
• Suspension Health: Keeping wheels aligned reduces unnecessary strain on suspension and steering components, preventing premature wear and costly repairs.
• Safety: Ensures your Hyundai tracks straight, responds predictably, and provides safer driving in all conditions.

When Do You Need a Wheel Alignment?

At Murray Hyundai Winnipeg, we recommend regular inspections, especially if you drive on Winnipeg’s rough roads or hit potholes often. Here are signs it may be time for an alignment:

• Steering Drift: If your vehicle pulls to one side when you let go of the wheel, alignment is likely needed.
• Uneven Tire Wear: Irregular tread patterns or faster wear on one side of the tire indicate misalignment.
• Handling Issues: A loose, wandering, or unstable feel while driving suggests alignment problems.
• Steering Wheel Off-Center: If the wheel is crooked while driving straight, your alignment should be corrected.
• After Suspension Work: Anytime steering or suspension parts are replaced, an alignment is necessary to ensure proper function and tire protection.
