Excessive movement, torn boots, or leaking struts can cause rapid tire wear and pull the vehicle out of spec again. Well show you findings and recommend parts only if needed.
- Free-play at the wheel or clunks over bumps may signal worn joints
- Uneven ride height can affect camber and caster
- We provide an inspection report before alignment adjustments

If it drives straight with even tire wear, you can wait and recheck every 22 years or 30,000 miles instead of aligning at every rotation.
On a well-maintained 2012 Chevrolet Colorado, alignment isnt required at each service if the wheel is centered and tread wear is even. Still, Utahs varied driving can nudge settings over time. A periodic check verifies youre protecting tires and fuel economy.
