Why Do Wheels Need To Be Aligned?
What Are Common Signs of Alignment Issues?
There are a few issues which indicate a problem with your wheel alignment, as well as a few problems which should result in an alignment check at your earliest convenience:
- Fighting or turning the steering wheel to drive straight
- A collision with another vehicle, no matter how minor
- A serious collision with a stationary object including curbs, potholes, or speed bumps
- Your new Kia has reached 3,000 km
- You’ve swapped or changed your tires for the season
- Any part of your suspension has recently undergone repair or changes
When Should I Have My Alignment Checked?
Outside of any of the immediate issues listed above, it’s a good idea to have your wheel alignment regularly checked once a year at minimum. Better yet, every time you come in for an oil change, you should consider a wheel alignment check. It doesn’t take long to do, and could improve your handling and steering performance.
