One of the most important components of a car is its ability to properly steer, if your car does not steer properly it can affect not only your safety but the safety of other drivers on the road. Below are some signs that your car is not properly aligned:

- Car is Pulling- If your car is properly aligned then it should drive straight with little effort, but if you notice your car pulling to one side or the other and you have to compensate with the steering wheel then it is time to have your alignment checked (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/5-signs-your-car-needs-an-alignment-by-toby-schultz).
