When you park parallel to the curb, be careful and don't run the wheels into the curb.
Alignments means that the axis of the weels are supposed to be aligned, on the same line (give or take some techinal details that I won't go in here). If one of your wheels hits the curb pretty hard, or you hit something else like that, it can slightly move at the place where it is attached. Then what happens is hwen you're driving straight, one wheel goes straight and the other is trying to make a turn all the time.
If you drive on a flat straight road (Slowly!!!) and release the steeering wheel the car is supposed to go straight. If it has a problem with alignment it is likely to go in a turm all by itself.

Hit too many big holes, some part eventually wear, and overtime alignment settings change as springs get weaker.
Usually alignments are check just to keep tires wearing even, though most people don't check tire pressure any more, and that wears out tires.

you can knock your car out of alignment by hitting curbes at a high speed or big pot hole'swhen driveing on the street or highway, or if you have a wreck ,auto accident,some old car's have schock's,and newer car's have struts.when you replace your struts you must have the alignment on both the frount and back of your car.this will align the frount and rear tire's so your car will drive in a stright line.

Is it safe to drive if your car alignment is messed up

it genuinely relies upon on in the journey that your automobile is front or rear wheel force. Peeling out with a front wheel force automobile can wreak havoc on the alignment, while you're turning on the same time as burning out. Rear wheel force autos dont oftentimes have alignment themes whilst burning out, yet whilst the automobile is underpowered, it will quickly injury the transmission. Oh...and via the way...velocity rocks.

What do you need is to hit something really hard with your car. Make sure you are not killing anyone alive, including yourself. Otherwise, you will mess up your life alignment as well.

usually pot holes and going over speed bumps too fast. these two things are common things any normal driver can do to ruin their alignment faster than normal. if you can when you change tires have them do an alignment and balance as well. it's also good for your alignment, tires and safety to rotate your tires during every other oil/trans fluid changes as well.

Pretend you drive an Mitsubishi EVO or Subraru STI rally car and drive like a jackass.
Take unpaved road short-cuts as much as possible.
This works best if driving a Neon for they break easily.
