Four clear signs are uneven tire wear, the car pulling, an off-center steering wheel, and vibration at speed.

On a 2010 Volvo XC70 (235 hp, 3.2L inline-six, AWD), toe or camber drift can quickly show up on the inner or outer tread blocks. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is another giveaway. If you tow (up to 3,300 lbs) or carry heavy cargo, check alignment more often.

• Inspect tread for feathering or one-sided wear
• Note any drift on flat roads with the wheel briefly relaxed
