Lexus Wheel Alignment Service

You may have been keeping up with your regular Lexus maintenance, but your wheels could become misaligned at a moment's notice. Wheel alignment service becomes necessary to keep your luxury car driving straight and smoothly. Thankfully, the trained technicians at Fields Lexus of Glenview can help with this important aspect of Lexus service. 

Wheel Misalignment 

If you find your car pulling to either side as you drive, or if there's some kind of steering issue, your wheels could need to be realigned. When your Lexus car is brand-new, your wheels are perfectly aligned to ensure that it drives straight. However, regular wear and tear, rough road conditions, or bad driving habits can cause them to go out of whack. 

Misalignment can cause uneven wear on your tires while severely reducing their life span. If the tires have too much uneven wear, you'll have to buy them separately, which can be significantly more expensive. Your steering wheel will start to vibrate, and your wheels will pull you in different directions, putting you and your passengers in danger of a roadside incident. 

Benefits of Lexus Wheel Alignment Service 

When your Lexus tires are aligned properly, your gas mileage will improve, and the life of your front and rear tires will be extended. Properly aligned wheels also preserve your vehicle's steering components and suspension, as well. All told, you'll get a smoother, more stable ride and more responsive steering, which can prolong the life of your luxury car. 

What Causes Misalignment? 

Here are some reasons why misalignment can happen: 

• Wear and tear on your suspension over time 

• Minor accidents like small fender benders
• Speed bumps, road hazards like potholes or rough terrain

Do you think your Lexus needs an alignment? Here are some tell-tale signs to look for:
