Wheel alignment, also known as ‘tracking,’ is an important element of vehicle maintenance.

Wheel alignment, which is often performed when your tyres are changed, readjusts the angles of your car’s wheels to the manufacturer’s requirements.

Some of The Advantages of Wheel Alignment:

• Reduces Tyre Wear, Extending the Life of Your Tyres
• Maintains Your Vehicle’s Straight and True Path (Rather Than ‘Pushing” It to One Side)
• Improved Handling
• Improved Fuel Efficiency
• Improves Your Driving Safety
• A More Comfortable Ride

For your vehicle to function properly, all four wheels must be aligned.

If you merely modify the front wheels (also known as a two-wheel alignment or ‘toe and go’) and your rear wheels are still out of alignment, you may suffer tugging, excessive or uneven tire wear, and a crooked steering wheel.

Your wheels may get out of alignment if you hit a pothole or a piece of gravel while driving, or if your steering parts or suspension are broken.

Your car expert will be able to tell you which one applies to your car after looking at it.

Adjusting Vehicle Handling Angles Is Possible

According to the manufacturer’s instructions, your tyres will be adjusted at different angles and orientations, such as toe in, toe out, positive camber, and negative camber.

Toe refers to whether the front of the tyres is closer together than the rear of the tyres. Camber refers to the tire’s tilt, which may be inward or outward.

Specific angles may be modified to modify your vehicle’s handling, for example, for racing or off-road driving, allowing for more aggressive driving styles.

For information on wheel alignment, you should always consult a tyre expert, though you may be able to spot potential imbalance by keeping an eye on the situation of your tyres.

If one or more are wearing irregularly or faster than the others, it could be an indication that your wheel alignment is out of whack and needs to be checked.

In Conclusion

Wheel alignment may have a significant impact on the quality of your ride, the efficiency of your handling, and the accuracy of your steering and can cause ‘pulling,’ which causes your vehicle to drift to one side while trying to drive straight.

Many of these items might become harmful over time, so keep your vehicle in excellent condition for your own safety.
