Are you returning from a trip with your car? It’s time to take some action. If you increased the tire pressure, because you were going to run on asphalt at higher speeds and in general with greater weight on the car, it’s time to get this calibration right.

SEE ALSO:

Take advantage of the fact that you drove a higher mileage to check how the front tires wore out. If it was even in the entire tread or irregular, which reveals a problem in the steering geometry.

If your car does not have automatic headlight adjustment and you then made the manual adjustment so as not to dazzle drivers on the road, it’s time to go back to normal adjustment. And also if during the trip the deadline for any revision or oil change has not expired.
