ALIGNMENT WHEEL


Get it right to avoid irregular wear and tyres will last longer. Get it wrong and you risk affecting the performance and safety of your vehicle


WHAT IS WHEEL ALIGNMENT? Wheel alignment consists of adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the road surface. When this is done correctly, the tyres will perform well and wear patterns will be regular, ensuring the best road holding and handling capabilities for your vehicle.


WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS IF WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS NOT DONE CORRECTLY? When the wheels are not aligned, tyre wear will be faster, irregular and the driver may notice lesser fuel efficiency, handling problems and the tyres will have a shorter lifespan – resulting in uneven wear combined with heat buildup due to excessive friction with the road surface caused by severe misalignment could also cause tyre blowouts in some extreme cases.
