Questions about Steering and Suspension Repair
Troubleshooting Guide
Why is tire rotation important?
Rotating tires promotes even tread wear, extends tire life, and improves handling and safety. Contact Preferred Automotive if you need help checking the concern.
How often should I have my tires rotated?
Typically every 6,000 to 8,000 miles, or as recommended in your owner’s manual. Contact Preferred Automotive if you need help checking the concern.
Can skipping tire rotations cause problems?
Yes. It can lead to uneven wear, reduced traction, a rough ride, and ultimately having to replace your tires sooner. Contact Preferred Automotive if you need help checking the concern.
Why does my vehicle pull to one side?
Uneven tire pressure, tire wear, alignment or brake and suspension problems can cause pulling. If the change is sudden or control feels unsafe, stop driving and arrange an inspection. Preferred Automotive can check the tires, alignment and related components.
Why does my steering wheel vibrate?
Wheel balance, tire damage, alignment or worn steering components may cause vibration. A sudden severe vibration needs prompt attention before further driving. Preferred Automotive can inspect the source.
What does a tire-pressure warning mean?
A warning may indicate low pressure or a monitoring-system fault. Check pressures when the tires are cold against the vehicle placard. If a tire is visibly damaged or rapidly losing air, do not continue driving; Preferred Automotive can assess the tire and monitoring system.
