Keep Your Vehicle Driving Straight and Smooth

Your vehicle’s front end—its steering, suspension, and alignment system—plays a key role in how it handles, brakes, and wears tires. When things get out of balance, you might notice your car pulling to one side, a vibrating steering wheel, or uneven tire wear. That’s where OK Tire Store & Service’s front-end specialists come in.

Our ASE-certified technicians inspect and repair all front-end components to keep your car stable, responsive, and safe on the road. Whether it’s a simple alignment adjustment or worn suspension parts that need replacing, we’ll pinpoint the cause and get you back to driving with confidence.

Common Signs You Need Front-End Service

• Vehicle drifts or pulls to one side
• Steering feels loose or unsteady
• Uneven or rapid tire wear
• Squeaking or clunking sounds over bumps
• Steering wheel vibration or misalignment

If you’ve noticed any of these issues, it’s time to have your front end checked before it leads to bigger—and more expensive—repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Front-End Service

What is a front-end alignment?
A front-end alignment adjusts your vehicle’s steering and suspension angles, so your tires meet the road evenly, improving handling and tire life.

How often should I have my alignment checked?
It’s recommended every 6,000 to 10,000 miles or whenever you install new tires, notice uneven tire wear, or hit a large pothole.

Can bad suspension cause alignment issues?
Yes. Worn shocks, struts, or bushings can cause misalignment and irregular tire wear.

Is front-end alignment the same as wheel alignment?
They’re closely related. Front-end alignment typically refers to adjusting only the front wheels, while a full wheel alignment includes all four.
