Why Wheel Alignment Matters for Your Lincoln: Safety and Performance Aspects

When you stop by your Lincoln dealer for a wheel alignment regularly, you’ll get to enjoy a much safer ride and a better performance. One of the benefits is better handling, which makes your Lincoln more enjoyable to drive and makes it easier to handle, too. Let’s take a look at a few more.

How Wheel Alignment Can Make Your Lincoln Safer

It Improves Your Steering

When your car’s wheels aren’t aligned, steering is more difficult. This is because you may have to hold your steering wheel at a strange angle, which could be uncomfortable on your arms and difficult to do.

Adjusting your steering to make up for the fact that your wheels aren’t aligned may even distract you so much that it increases your likelihood of getting into an accident. Making sure your car always has properly aligned wheels stops you from having to compensate by adjusting your steering.

It Improves Handling

Because you don’t have to hold the steering wheel at an unusual angle, handling is automatically easier in a car with aligned wheels. However, when your car has misaligned wheels, you might notice your steering wheel pulls, and your car may not go straight while you’re attempting to drive in a straight line.

Being 100% in control of your car and able to handle it with ease is important so you can stay safe on the road. When you’re in control of your car, your ride is all around more stable. It’s especially important to be in control while cornering, braking, or navigating around obstacles.

It Reduces Tire Wear

Your car’s tires wear down unevenly when the wheels aren’t aligned. This can make handling more difficult, and it reduces the amount of traction your tires have, especially when the road is wet. More traction means more safety.

How Getting Your Wheels Aligned at Your Lincoln Dealer Improves Your Car’s Performance

Your Fuel Economy Improves

There’s very little rolling resistance when your wheels are aligned properly. When there’s not much resistance, your car doesn’t need to use extra fuel to get your car to move. This means you’ll use less fuel in a car that gets alignments regularly than you would in one with misaligned wheels.

Your Ride Gets More Comfortable

Misaligned wheels cause excess road noise and vibrations during every ride. Simply getting your wheels aligned and reducing the uneven tire wear caused by misaligned wheels can significantly reduce that noise and those vibrations.

Your Car’s Other Parts Don’t Suffer

When your car’s wheels are misaligned, it puts stress on various parts of your car. This can lead to reduced performance, and you’ll probably need to get auto repairs pretty regularly to fix the problems the misaligned wheels cause.
