Wheel Alignment & Tracking
Over time driving over speed bumps, potholes or kerb can knock your wheel alignment out. By not having this checked out, this can lead to uneven wear on your tyres. In most cases you will feel you car pulling to either the right or the left side.
Depending on the extent of how bad it is, it can lead to an increase in fuel consumption, and your tyres can wear down at lot sooner than normal.
Are you facing the above conditions while driving?
