Misalignment causes uneven tire wear, which reduces tire lifespan and increases rolling resistance.
The car may pull to one side, making it harder to steer and requiring more effort from the driver, which can reduce fuel efficiency.
Keeping the wheels properly aligned ensures better handling and longer-lasting tires.
