Wheel Alignment in Glen Allen & Midlothian

Wheel alignment adjusts the direction and angle at which your tires meet the road. At Aarrow Transmissions & Automotive, we help Glen Allen and Midlothian-area drivers investigate pulling, an off-center steering wheel and uneven tread wear. Checking the tires and steering components first helps determine whether an alignment is the right next step.

When to contact the shop

  • The steering wheel sits crooked while the vehicle travels straight.
  • One edge of a tire wears faster than the other.
  • The vehicle pulls after a pothole impact or curb strike.
  • Steering or suspension work has changed the wheel position.

What to expect

An alignment begins with the vehicle condition, tire pressures and the manufacturer specifications. Worn joints, loose components or damaged tires may need attention before an adjustment can hold. Where the vehicle design allows, alignment angles are adjusted toward specification.

Tell us about recent impacts, new tires and any steering repairs. If the main symptom is vibration at a certain speed, tire balance or another rotating component may need a separate check.

Common questions

Is wheel alignment the same as tire balancing?

No. Alignment concerns wheel angles; balancing addresses uneven weight around a tire and wheel assembly. Your symptoms and an inspection help identify which service is appropriate.

Should I get an alignment with new tires?

An alignment check is useful when old tires have uneven wear, the vehicle pulls or suspension work was performed. It helps protect the new set from repeating the same wear pattern.
