Steering System Inspection, Repair & Wheel Alignment

Your vehicle’s steering and alignment systems play a critical role in safety, handling, and tire wear. Proper steering response and accurate wheel alignment ensure your vehicle drives straight, handles predictably, and responds smoothly to driver input. When these systems are worn or out of adjustment, it can affect control, comfort, and long-term vehicle reliability.

At MacDonald’s Automotive, we provide complete steering system inspections and precision wheel alignment services to keep your vehicle handling the way it should.

Steering System Services

Your steering system includes components such as tie rods, ball joints, steering racks, power steering pumps, and related hardware. Over time, these parts can wear, loosen, or leak, leading to poor handling and unsafe driving conditions.

We inspect your steering system for:

• Worn or loose steering components
• Power steering fluid leaks
• Steering rack or gearbox issues
• Noises when turning
• Excessive steering play or vibration

If repairs are needed, we’ll explain the issue clearly and recommend the appropriate solution to restore safe, responsive steering.

Common signs of steering problems include:

• Difficulty turning the wheel
• Vehicle wandering or pulling
• Clunking or knocking noises
• Steering wheel vibration
• Power steering warning light
   

Wheel Alignment Services

Wheel alignment ensures that your tires are positioned at the correct angles according to manufacturer specifications. Misalignment can occur gradually over time or suddenly after hitting potholes, curbs, or rough road conditions.

A proper alignment helps:

• Improve vehicle handling and stability
• Prevent uneven or premature tire wear
• Keep your vehicle driving straight
• Improve fuel efficiency
• Protect suspension and steering components

We use modern alignment equipment to accurately measure and adjust your vehicle’s alignment, ensuring it meets factory specifications.

You may need an alignment if you notice:

• Your vehicle pulls to one side
• The steering wheel is off-center
• Uneven or rapid tire wear
• Poor handling or drifting
• After suspension or steering repairs
