Keeping a vehicle’s tires flat on the road can mean the difference between an excellent ride quality and a crippling repair bill. JJ Tracks uses the most technologically advanced alignment equipment, which uses remote lasers to insure all four tires are aligned within a fraction of a degree.

F.A.Q.’s

Q. Do I really have to rotate my tires?

Your tires should be rotated every other oil change, or every 6000 miles. Neglecting to rotate tires is a major cause of premature tire wear. Factors which may indicate whether tire rotation is necessary are independent suspension, radial tires as well as other factors.

Q. Why does my steering wheel shake when I’m driving down the highway?

The most common issue related to this symptom comes from tire balance. Tire balance is counter weighting any heavy spot (generally the seam) apparent in your tires. The vibration is actually there while driving at slower speeds, but usually is absorbed by the rest of the vehicle. What your are feeling is an amplified version of a wobbly tire. This wobble is quite hard on the steering and suspension and can create premature wear on any of these parts. For this reason it is important to check your tire balance every time your tires are rotated.

Q. How do I know I need a wheel alignment?

Generally people wait to do a wheel alignment until one of two things happens: either the vehicle starts “pulling” one way or the other, or you start to notice abnormal wear on the edges of the tires. If you can notice either one of these symptoms, things have gone too far. The only way to nip these problems in the bud before they cause costly damage is to have your alignment checked on a regular basis, usually twice a year. Most repair facilities will do a free alignment check to tell you if your vehicle is in need of an alignment.
