Steering Wheel Off-Center After a Richmond Pothole? Check Alignment Before Tire Damage Spreads

If your steering wheel sits crooked after a pothole hit, your alignment angles may already be out of spec. Richmond road impacts can shift toe settings enough to cause feathered tread and subtle pulling within days. Catching the issue early can prevent buying tires sooner than expected and helps keep braking and cornering more predictable. Ask for an alignment check as soon as symptoms appear, especially if the car now drifts on straight roads.
