Alignment Chart | Escondido, CA | All Auto Escondido

Alignment refers to an adjustment of a vehicle's suspension – the system that connects a vehicle to its wheels. It is not an adjustment of the tires or wheels themselves. The key to proper alignment is adjusting the angles of the tires which affects how they contact the road.

What are the causes of misaligned wheels? There are three main causes of wheel misalignment, these are: Sudden jarring or heavy impact caused by hitting something, such as a pothole, bumping a curb, or a road accident. Worn parts caused by wear and tear.

Here are some common signs that you are dealing with poor alignment:

  1. Your vehicle pulls to one side.
  2. Uneven or rapid tire wear.
  3. Your steering wheel is crooked when driving straight.
  4. Squealing tires.

Your mechanic will place your car up on a lift and use an alignment machine that has devices that clamp to the wheels and have lasers. The machine is hooked up to a computer and your mechanic makes precise adjustments to a series of measurements provided by the computer data to get everything perfectly aligned to the manufacturer specification.

A broken serpentine belt causes the water pump to stop circulating coolant through the engine's cooling system, causing it to overheat. A serpentine belt is different from a timing belt. A timing belt runs the engine camshaft(s) and is hidden under protective covers. A serpentine belt is located on the side of the engine and can be inspected from under the hood.
