Frequently Asked Questions

How do you know if your wheels need alignment?

• Uneven or rapid tire wear—inspect tread depth across each tire; uneven wear is a common sign of misalignment.
• Vehicle pulls to one side while driving or you must hold the steering wheel off-center to go straight.
• Vibration or wobble through the steering wheel at certain speeds can indicate alignment or balance issues.
• Steering feels loose or steering wheel does not return smoothly after a turn.
• If you notice any of these signs, bring your 2026 Honda Ridgeline to Hare Honda for a certified inspection—repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership.
