What is Wheel Alignment?
Wheel alignment, sometimes called tracking, ensures all four wheels point in exactly the right direction. It's about adjusting the angles at which your wheels meet the road, not balancing or rotating tyres.
Think of it like wearing shoes that point slightly outward. You would wear through them unevenly and walking would feel uncomfortable. The same principle applies to your car's wheels.
Even a small bump can knock alignment out. Many drivers don't realise their wheels are misaligned until they notice uneven tyre wear or the car pulling to one side.
Toe Angle
Whether wheels point inward or outward
Camber Angle
Vertical tilt of the wheel when viewed from the front
Caster Angle
Angle of the steering axis for stability
Why Alignment Matters
Correct wheel alignment delivers benefits for your wallet, your safety, and your driving comfort.
Extend Tyre Life
Correct alignment can add thousands of miles to your tyres by ensuring even wear across the tread.
Improve Fuel Economy
Misaligned wheels create rolling resistance, making your engine work harder and use more fuel.
Safer Handling
Your vehicle responds predictably to steering input, which matters most in emergency situations.
Comfortable Driving
No more pulling to one side or fighting the steering wheel on straight roads.
Protect Suspension
Proper alignment reduces strain on suspension components, helping them last longer.
MOT Ready
Well-maintained alignment contributes to safe, roadworthy vehicle condition.
