CAR MAINTENANCE DIY

QUICK WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK

While a front-end alignment is definitely not a car maintenance DIY (Do It Yourself) project, a quick check for proper alignment can be. And it is quick, easy, and money saving.

According to the "How to Fight High Gas Prices" Maintenance Tips article at partsamerica.com maintaining correct wheel alignment can save you 2% or about $.05 per gallon of gas. It also reduces wear on your tires and extends their service life by keeping them tracking straight.

Checking your front-end alignment is a quick maintenance item that doesn’t even require a car maintenance schedule tracker. While you’re checking the air pressure in your tires, take a look at the tread on them. Anything other than even tread wear suggests that you may need a front-end alignment.

More information on wheel alignment can be found on the Midas Auto Education Pages .
