NTB Wheel Alignment Coupons

Adjusting the wheel alignment of your vehicle focuses on three things including the camber, toe, and castor. 

• The camber is the inward or outward tilt of your tires from the front of the vehicle. 

• The toe is based on how your tires look when viewed from above. They will either face inward or outward. 

• Caster is the angle of your steering axis when looking at your vehicle from the side.

Yes, a tire shop is a great place to get your wheels aligned. Mavis, Tire Kingdom and NTB offer great deals for your wheel alignment and other vehicle needs. Many places will also check your vehicle’s alignment during an oil change. 

Regular driving conditions do not have a large effect on your wheel alignment. However, running into a curb, getting into an accident, or winter weather conditions can have an effect on your wheel alignment. If other things on your vehicle, like shocks, struts, and tires, are in poor condition, this may also affect your alignment. After any of these incidents, make a note if your vehicle seems off-center. 

Proper alignment is key to automotive safety. If your car is out of alignment, it can affect the tire tread and the overall lifespan of your tires, which can in turn affect your overall fuel efficiency.

Wheel alignment and tire balancing are different. Wheel alignment is focused on ensuring that all of your tires are heading in the same direction as your vehicle. Tire balancing evens out the weight distribution of the tire and wheel assembly. A shaking steering wheel or vehicle may be a sign of unbalanced tires. You only need to get tire balancing when necessary.
