Wheel Alignment

How important is a wheel alignment?
Consider this: According to research, the typical car travels around 12,000 miles a year. By the end of the year, a car with a toe angle adjustment error of 0.34 degrees (only 0.17 inches) will have dragged the tires sideways for more than 68 miles!
signs you need a wheel alignment
- Excessive or uneven tire wear.
- The vehicle pulls to the left or right.
- Feeling of looseness or wandering.
- Steering wheel vibration or shimmy.
- Steering wheel is not centered when the vehicle is moving straight ahead.
How often should I have my vehicle aligned?
Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation noted in your owner’s manual. As a general rule, have your wheel alignment checked every 10,000 miles or at least once a year.
The Importance of wheel Alignment:
Reduced Tire Wear
An important factor in premature tyre wear is improper alignment. A vehicle with appropriate alignment can extend tyre life by thousands of kilometres over time. Due to poor wear, most tyres need to be replaced early.
Better Gas Mileage
As rolling resistance falls, gas mileage rises. When all four wheels are parallel and properly inflated, Total Alignment reduces rolling resistance.
Better Handling
Is your car pulling to one side? Do you have to turn the wheel to keep your automobile going straight all the time? Total Alignment treatment can solve several handling issues. When all of the car's parts are properly aligned, road shock is absorbed more effectively for a smoother ride.
Safer Driving
The alignment process includes a check of the suspension system. This enables worn parts to be found before they result in expensive issues.
