Common Questions About Wheel Alignment
Spring potholes impact suspension components, bending tie rods and affecting camber angles. Guelph's freeze-thaw cycles create deep potholes; hitting one can throw off alignment, causing uneven tire wear.
Check alignment annually in spring after winter pothole season, or immediately after hitting a major pothole. Guelph's winter and spring conditions make regular checks essential for safety and tire longevity.
