If you're wondering whether your car needs an alignment, first look at your tires. Uneven tire wear — often, more wear on the outside of some tires — is a prime indicator that your car is likely out of alignment. Here are a few more indicators:

Your car seems to be drifting to one side, even when you think you're driving straight.
Your steering wheel vibrates.
You are driving straight, but your steering wheel isn't centered.
If none of these indicators occurs but it's been a while since your last alignment, check your owner's manual to see how often the manufacturer recommends having this service

All you’re really doing is disengaging the transmission.
