WHY PROPER WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS CRUCIAL:

  • Extended Tyre Life: Misalignment can cause uneven tyre wear, leading to premature replacement. Regular alignment checks can prolong the life of your tyres.

  • Better Fuel Efficiency: Misaligned wheels create extra resistance, forcing your car to consume more fuel. Proper alignment helps your vehicle run more efficiently.

  • Enhanced Handling: Poor alignment can make your car pull to one side or cause the steering wheel to vibrate. Correct alignment ensures smoother handling and better absorption of road impact.

  • Increased Safety: During alignment, we also inspect your suspension system, allowing us to identify and address any worn parts before they turn into costly repairs.

UNDERSTANDING ALIGNMENT ISSUES:

  • Positive Toe: When the leading edges of the wheels are closer together, causing wear on the outer edge of the tyre tread.

  • Negative Toe: When the leading edges of the wheels are further apart, leading to wear on the inner edge of the tyre tread.

  • Positive Camber: The top of the wheel leans away from the car, causing wear on the outer shoulder of the tyre.

  • Negative Camber: The top of the wheel leans towards the car, leading to wear on the inner shoulder of the tyre.
