Proper wheel alignment is very important when it comes to how well you are able to handle your vehicle. The correct alignment allows your vehicle to travel straight and not veer off to one side while on the road. How often you need a wheel alignment actually depends upon a number of factors.  The make and model of your vehicle and your driving habits can affect how often your vehicle needs a wheel alignment. The typical time frame is around every 2 years or so, or around every 20,000 miles. However, there are certain situations that can force your wheels out of alignment quicker.  Wheels can be forced out of alignment by a few different occurrences, including driving fast over speed bumps, potholes, hitting curbs, car collisions, and more.

Depending on the model of your car, you will have disc brakes installed in the front of your vehicle and possibly in the back of your vehicle, as well. When you press down on the brake pedal, brake fluid is pushed through the master cylinder to your brake calipers. The brake fluid uses hydraulic pressure to press the piston inside the caliper, which will in turn press your brake pads against the rotors, slowing down or stopping your vehicle.  Over time, brake calipers can become rusty and contaminated, and begin to leak brake fluid - a vital part of your brake system. This is because the brake calipers actually absorb a ton of heat generated from the brake system, which can cause the seals inside the calipers to wear down. So, when do your brake calipers need to be replaced? Typically, it is recommended that they are replaced during a major brake service. However, your vehicle's owner's manual will also provide a recommendation for how often this service should be perform ... read more
