Saturday, February 08, 2025 Tire wear - alignment
AGCO Auto Quick Tip:

The signs of an alignment problem are:

1. Tire wear
2. A vehicle pulling to one side
3. A steering wheel off center

Shaking or Shimmy are NOT normally alignment problems.

For much more information please read Wheel Alignment Myths.
