Bad suspension parts can impact a vehicle’s alignment. An Acura had an off center steering wheel that was caused by a bent control arm.
Other types of suspension wear – such as tie rod ends, pittman arms, and ball joints – may also lead to a bad wheel alignment.
Car alignments can be thrown off by certain road conditions, as well. These include potholes, construction sites, curbs, speed bumps and curbs.
You might need a tire alignment if the tires are wearing unevenly, the steering wheel is crooked, or your vehicle is pulling to one side.
