In its simplest terms, wheel alignment is the direction in which your tyres point, however, the consequences of misalignment are not so simple.
Tyres fitted to wheels that are incorrectly aligned are highly likely to suffer from premature and uneven tread wear, impact both lifespan and safety of your tyres. Other symptoms to watch for include:
- Your car pulls to one side when driving on a straight flat road
- Your steering wheel remains at an angle while driving straight
- Your fuel consumption has increased
It doesn’t necessarily take a significant impact for your wheel alignment to be affected. Minor driving occurrences can cause your wheels to be misaligned. Driving over potholes, hitting a kerb or even debris in the road can lead to a wheel alignment issue. You should always have your wheel alignment checked when you have new tyres fitted or undergo any steering or suspension repair work.
Having the wheels on your car correctly aligned is vital.
Correct wheel alignment makes your driving experience safer, more comfortable and more economical. So have your wheel alignment checked whenever you think there may be a problem.
Here are the benefits of correctly aligned wheels:
- Your tyres will wear evenly meaning that you will not need to replace your tyres as frequently
- Your car will achieve its maximum fuel efficiency, therefore saving you money on fuel
- Your car will naturally drive straight and provide optimum handling
- Your steering wheel will remain level
- You will avoid putting unnecessary strain on your vehicle which will help you to prolong the life of your steering and suspension components
