GRANDVILLE, Mich., -- As any Michigander knows, our roads are terrible. Big time. Harsh winters coupled with the drastic freeze/thaw cycles we experience heading into springtime leave our highways and city streets peppered with potholes, which in turn wreak havoc on your vehicle.
This National Car Care Month, your friends at RiverTown Honda are here to show you how important it is to check your alignment and suspension this spring and help prepare your car to run at its best this summer.
ALIGNMENT
Over time, things like potholes, dirt/uneven roads, and regular driving can take a toll on your vehicle's wheel alignment. However, road conditions get particularly nasty here during the winter here in our beloved Mitten State, so it's extremely important that you check up on your alignment when spring arrives.
When your wheels aren't properly aligned, your car has to work harder to move thus causing its performance to suffer. Spring alignment care is important because it maximizes tire life, performance, and fuel efficiency. Scheduling an alignment check at RiverTown Honda is easy, and here are some signs for you to look out for in the meantime:
- Your car pulls to one side
- Vibrations in the steering wheel
- Visible uneven tire tread wear
- Squealing tires
- Your steering wheel turns while traveling straight
SUSPENSION
Your vehicle's suspension is responsible for controlling the bounce and impacts of certain rough road conditions, and helps to keep the tires in contact with the road. It also serves the purpose of providing consistent handling, helps control roll and sway, encourages even tire and brake wear, and contributes to overall passenger comfort. Spring suspension care is especially important after experiencing treacherous road conditions during the winter (and let's be honest, even well into spring). You can easily schedule a suspension check-up at Rivertown Honda, should you notice any of the following warning signs:
- Hard steering
- Heavy tipping feeling when turning
- Nose-dive stops
- Rough ride
- Excessive bounce
- Low riding height of the vehicle
As we brave the aftermath of winter and head on into spring, make sure your vehicle is at the top of its game by checking your alignment and suspension for National Car Care Month.
