Four-wheel alignment checks and adjustment
Wheel alignment measures the steering and suspension geometry to identify angles that may affect tyre wear, steering position and vehicle stability.
After booking, the vehicle, customer updates, recommendations and service documents remain connected through the same customer account.
What can the appointment include?
The exact adjustments available depend on the vehicle design and condition of the components.
Tyre condition
Visible wear patterns, pressure and damage that may influence the alignment result.
Steering position
The steering-wheel position and customer-reported pulling or instability.
Geometry measurement
Available camber, caster, toe and thrust-angle readings using alignment equipment.
Front adjustment
Front toe or other adjustable angles are corrected where the vehicle allows.
Rear adjustment
Rear angles are adjusted where specified and physically adjustable.
Component observations
Obvious wear, damage or seized adjusters that prevent accurate alignment.
Before-and-after results
The measurements can be reviewed after adjustment.
Road-test observation
Where appropriate, steering position and general behaviour can be checked.
Alignment cannot compensate for worn parts
Worn suspension joints, damaged tyres, bent components or seized adjusters may need repaired before accurate alignment can be completed.
When to consider wheel alignment
Geometry can change gradually or after an impact or repair.
Inner or outer edges wearing faster than the rest of the tread.
The wheel does not sit straight while the vehicle travels on a level road.
The vehicle tends to drift or pull, although tyres and road camber can also contribute.
Suspension work, pothole impact, kerb contact or accident repair may justify a geometry check.
Before alignment
The condition of the vehicle affects the accuracy of the measurement.
Common questions about Wheel Alignment
Is wheel alignment the same as wheel balancing?
No. Alignment concerns steering and suspension angles. Balancing corrects weight distribution in the wheel and tyre assembly.
Can every alignment angle be adjusted?
No. Adjustment depends on the vehicle design and whether the components are serviceable.
Will alignment stop all tyre wear?
It can correct geometry-related wear, but tyre pressure, component wear, driving style and tyre condition also matter.
Do I need alignment after suspension work?
It is often recommended after work that affects steering or suspension geometry.
