Suspension and Steering Alignment at Kunes Auto Body

If your car is pulling to one side, your steering feels loose, or your tires are wearing unevenly, it’s time to schedule a suspension and steering alignment. At Kunes Auto Body, we specialize in diagnosing and correcting alignment issues that impact your vehicle’s safety, comfort, and performance by adjusting the vehicle's suspension system, which connects the vehicle to its wheels and affects how the tires interact with the road.
Our steering alignment specialists use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure every angle and adjustment is precise—so your car handles like it should, mile after mile.

Some common signs you may need a car alignment service or vehicle suspension repair include:

• Car pulling left or right
• Uneven or rapid tire wear
• Premature tread wear: Proper tire balancing and wheel alignment are crucial to prevent premature tread wear. This can extend tire lifespan and enhance vehicle performance by ensuring even tread wear and precise steering.
• Off-center steering wheel
• Loose or shaky steering
• Clunking or bouncing over bumps
• Vehicle drifting after turns

Ignoring these issues can cause damage to your tires, suspension system, and even reduce fuel efficiency. Alignment issues can also affect your vehicle's steering, leading to problems like steering pull and reduced driving performance. Our suspension alignment specialists will pinpoint the problem and get your car driving straight again.

Proper vehicle alignment is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it ensures even tread wear, which can extend the life of your tires and improve overall vehicle performance. Secondly, it enhances handling and stability, making your vehicle safer to drive. Thirdly, it can improve fuel efficiency, as properly aligned tires reduce rolling resistance and improve aerodynamics. Finally, maintaining proper alignment can prevent premature wear on suspension and steering components, saving you money on costly repairs down the road. By investing in regular vehicle alignment, you ensure that your car’s suspension system and steering components remain in optimal condition, providing you with a safer and more efficient driving experience.

There are several signs that indicate you need a wheel alignment service. These include:

• Uneven tread wear: If your tires are wearing unevenly, it may be a sign that your vehicle is out of alignment.
• Pulling to one side: If your vehicle is pulling to one side while driving, it may indicate a need for alignment.
• Crooked steering wheel: If your steering wheel is off-center when driving straight, it may be a sign of misalignment.
• Steering wheel vibration: If your steering wheel is vibrating while driving, it may indicate a need for alignment.
• Potholes and curbs: Hitting potholes or curbs can cause alignment issues, so it’s essential to check your alignment after such incidents.

By recognizing these signs and addressing them promptly, you can ensure your vehicle remains safe, efficient, and performs optimally. Scheduling a wheel alignment service at the first sign of trouble can prevent further damage to your tires and suspension system, ensuring a smoother ride and better handling.
