Irregular wear can be caused by improper alignment, overinflation, underinflation of tires, or a worn out suspension. Tires are an extremely important component of your vehicle, and it's a good idea to visually inspect them to see how they're holding up.
Tire rotation refers to the regular practice of switching the position of each tire on the car. The purpose of Tire rotation is to help equalize tread wear and is critical to gain the maximum life from your tire investment.
Refer to your owner's manual for the recommended rotation interval and pattern. The rotation pattern varies with different makes and models, which shows the tire locations during rotation. Some vehicles have different size tires on the front and back or directional tires. This limits the locations that a tire may take on the vehicle. When in doubt, check the owner's manual or consult a professional technician for guidance.
Tire rotation time also offers a good opportunity to have the tires and wheels balanced. It's another step you can take to maximize your tire investment. Your transmission is a complex system of gears that transmit mechanical power to your engine, ultimately determining the rate of speed you travel.
Transmissions convert this power from the engine so that it can supply high torque at low speeds, in addition to selecting which gears are appropriate based on the driving conditions.
This is especially true with automatic transmissions-by far the most popular transmissions found in the US. Rather than using a clutch to engage the transmission, automatic transmissions use a torque converter between the engine and transmission to control the number of gears when driving.
Supplying the power to regulate gear action is a demanding task, which is why it's important for you to maintain your transmission by servicing it. Here are some of the essential maintenance tasks we complete:. Transmission problems typically arise when regular service is neglected. When fluids aren't properly changed, heat caused from mileage friction results in rough shifting, accelerated wear, and even complete failure.
That's why it's essential that you make sure that your transmission is lubricated and cooled by the finest quality transmission fluids, installed by our service professionals. When properly aligned, the wheels point in the right direction. Without proper alignment, the wheels resist your steering commands, as well as each other. Alignment also affects gas mileage and tire wear. If your tires are pointed in different directions, they fight against each other and can cause tread wear.
Proper wheel alignment is integral to maintaining your vehicle. Computerized alignment equipment is used to measure all alignment angles on your vehicle..
These include both adjustable and non-adjustable angles. Non-adjustable angles require repair or replacement of the suspension component. The most common adjustable angles are:. Often confused with wheel alignment, a properly balanced wheel is a beautiful, perfectly tuned wheel-tire combination. This is accomplished by placing measured lead weights on the opposite side of the "heavy spot"-the noticeable tread wear on your unbalanced tire.
If your vehicle vibrating at certain speeds, say, between 50 and 70 mph, then chances are your vehicle may have a wheel that is out of balance. One section of your tire may be heavier than the others because it's endured more exposure to the friction and heat of the road.
