Common Wheel Alignment Intervals
While wheel alignments don't have a dedicated interval, they're often performed simultaneously with tire rotations to ensure your vehicle has maximum contact with the road. Common alignment service intervals for most BMW vehicles are every 5,000 to 10,000 miles or at least once a year, allowing you to save time by combining care with your next oil change near Des Moines.
Signs Your Vehicle Needs Alignment
While most drivers understand the importance of periodic tire rotations and seasonal battery care, wheel alignments are often overlooked as being a secondary service. However, traveling over bumps, potholes, and other rough road surfaces near Ames can cause your wheel alignment to fall out of specification over time. Some of the most common signs of poor wheel alignment include:
- Vehicle pulls to one side on flat ground
- Steering wheel excessively vibrates
- Uneven tire tread wear
