Wheel alignment

• How does wheel alignment work?

The wheel alignment process typically involves the following steps:

Inspection: A technician will inspect the tires, suspension and steering components to identify any issues or damage that may need to be addressed before the alignment can be performed.

Measurement: The technician will use specialised equipment to measure the angles of the wheels, which provide a baseline to determine how much adjustment is required.

Adjustment: Based on the measurements, the technician will optimise the angles of the wheels by adjusting the suspension components. This will ensure that the wheels are aligned according to the manufacturer's specifications.

Testing: After the adjustment is complete, the technician will test the vehicle to ensure that the alignment is correct. This may involve a test drive or using specialised equipment to measure the alignment angles again.

• Why is wheel alignment important?

There are multiple benefits that come with having your car’s wheels aligned by an expert, such as:

Improved handling: Proper alignment can improve handling and stability, which can help to keep the vehicle driving straight and reduce steering effort.

Better fuel economy: Misaligned wheels can cause the tyres to wear unevenly, leading to increased rolling resistance. Proper alignment helps to ensure that the tyres wear evenly, which can improve fuel economy.

Longer tyre life: Misaligned wheels can cause tyres to wear out more quickly, leading to more frequent tyre replacements. Proper alignment can help to extend the lifespan of the tyres by ensuring even wear.

Safer driving: Proper wheel alignment plays a role in preventing premature tyre wear and reduces the risk of blowouts, which helps to keep the driver and passengers safe on the road.
