A crooked steering wheel can lead to rapid tire wear, forcing you to replace your tires more frequently than usual and costing you a lot more! Misalignment can also lead to poor gas mileage, as well as an uncomfortable ride and premature tire wear.
If you’re wondering why your steering wheel is shaking/what causes steering wheel vibration, read our article on vibrations!
Your steering wheel is crooked due to your vehicle being out of alignment. Basically, your steering and suspension systems are not operating at the right angles. This can happen after hitting a curb or pothole, when your vehicle hasn’t been well maintained, and when your vehicle’s height has been modified without also changing the suspension. Misalignment can shift the layout of the entire steering system. Other effects of a misalignment are: irregular tire wear, side pulling, and vibration in your steering wheel.
An alignment can help fix a crooked steering wheel. At Wonderland Tire, we fix alignments using state of the art Hunter Equipment. The Hunter Engineering Company has been a leader in the industry for over 70 years. We use the Hunter Alignment System as well as the Hunter Road Force Balancer.
If your steering wheel is still crooked after an alignment, there may be other undiagnosed issues with your steering and suspension. At Wonderland Tire, we make sure to correct both the wheel misalignment and the steering wheel so any lingering issues are unlikely.
