Hayden Lake Wheel Alignment
Driving over a curb or into a pothole can cause your vehicle’s wheels to go out of alignment. Bringing your car to a service center for wheel alignment will remedy this situation.

If you live in Hayden Lake, wheel alignment is nearby when you visit Knudtsen Chevrolet in Post Falls.
A vibrating steering wheel is another sign that your vehicle’s wheels are out of alignment. Other symptoms include a car that pulls to one side or drives straight when the steering wheel isn’t centered. If you notice any of these warning signs, or it has been a while since you’ve taken your vehicle in for a wheel alignment, it may be time for wheel alignment service near Hayden Lake.
The name “wheel alignment” can be confusing. The wheels don’t actually go out of alignment. What really happens is the car’s suspension becomes misaligned, causing the wheels to be seated at the wrong angles. There are several reasons the suspension components can become misaligned, including bumping into a curb, driving over a pothole, and being involved in any type of accident.
After a wheel alignment, your vehicle’s tires will wear evenly and more slowly. Considering the cost of new tires, a wheel alignment can save you money. Your car will handle properly and drive straight. Because the tires will have less resistance, you’ll see improved fuel economy.
Visit the Knudtsen Chevrolet Service Center when you need a wheel alignment. Our certified service technicians use the most current equipment to restore the suspension to the proper configuration. We’ll correct the suspension angles (called toe, camber, caster and thrust). We’ll center the steering wheel and inspect the suspension components for signs of excessive wear.
There are different kinds of wheel alignment. The type of alignment used for your car depends on its suspension.
- Four-wheel alignment: This type of alignment is for all-wheel-drive vehicles or front-wheel-drive vehicles with independent or adjustable rear suspensions. The service technicians adjust both axles so that all four wheels align correctly.
- Front-end alignment: Some vehicles have a solid-rear axle that never needs adjustment. During a front-end alignment, only the front wheels are adjusted.
- Thrust-angle alignment: This is recommended for vehicles with independent rear suspensions. The rear axle and wheels are aligned to be parallel with the front axle and perpendicular to the car’s center line.
If you believe your vehicle needs a wheel alignment, don’t put it off. Driving a car that pulls to the left or the right is dangerous.
