The short answer
Pulling or uneven tire wear is not always an alignment-only problem. Tire condition and pressure, worn steering or suspension parts, wheel damage, ride height, brakes, and road crown can change how a vehicle tracks.
How Aspen approaches steering, suspension & alignment
Aspen inspects tires, wheels, steering and suspension joints, shocks or struts, bushings, ride height, and related components before or alongside alignment measurement. Worn or damaged parts should be addressed before alignment angles are treated as the only cause.

Signs this service may be relevant
Symptoms identify where testing should begin; they do not prove which part has failed.
Vehicle pulls, wanders, or needs frequent steering correction
Uneven or rapid tire wear
Clunking, knocking, squeaking, or looseness over bumps
Steering wheel is off-center
Vibration changes with road speed
Vehicle sits low, bounces, dives, or feels unstable
Stop and get guidance when:
- Sudden major steering looseness or loss of directional control
- A wheel appears tilted, displaced, or damaged after an impact
- Severe vibration, grinding, or contact between tire and body
- A steering or suspension component is visibly broken or detached
When safe operation is uncertain, do not rely on a webpage to make the drive/no-drive decision. Call the selected shop or arrange towing.
