Wheel Alignments And Suspension Care, Another Important Part Of Regular MAZDA Service

Make sure you don’t forget this item on your MAZDA service checklist! It can be hard to get a handle on all of the different service and maintenance tasks your Mazda vehicle requires, but we’re here to ensure that you’ve got a complete rundown on the tasks that’ll keep your car running longer.
 In this guide, we’ll be going over the basics of wheel alignments and other ways to care for your vehicle’s suspension.

What is Wheel Alignment?

Unlike regular Mazda tire service, wheel alignments refer to any adjustment of your vehicle’s suspension. The suspension is the system that connects your car to its wheels and ensures every drive is a smooth one with a lattice of springs and dampers to absorb the shock of the road. Over time, especially if you live in an area with a lot of potholes, your vehicle’s suspension can become warped due to the many bumps in the road it absorbs the shock from.
To prevent a warped suspension from causing larger issues for your vehicle, a wheel alignment can be performed to bring the suspension back to its original glory. Make sure to stay on top of our Mazda service specials for the best deal on your next wheel alignment!

How Do I Know If I Need A Wheel Alignment?

There are a couple of ways to tell whether or not your vehicle requires a wheel alignment, the first being if your vehicle is pulling one way or the other when driving straight. The second way to tell is if you notice extreme wear on certain tires during a tire rotation, this could be a sign that certain wheels are taking the brunt of the road’s wear.
Lastly, if you notice that your steering wheel is vibrating on the road, it's important that your vehicle be seen as soon as possible. If your vehicle has been exhibiting any of these behaviors, make sure to schedule Mazda service today!
