What is Wheel Alignment?
Wheel alignment, also known as tyre alignment, is a key maintenance task that involves adjusting the angle of the wheels to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Wheels should remain perpendicular to the road and parallel to each other. However, they can drift inwards or outwards or tilt from the axle over time.
The process involves correcting the camber, caster, and toe angles, reducing tyre wear and ensuring straight driving without pulling to one side.

Why Wheel Alignment Matters
Wheel alignment, or tracking, ensures your vehicle’s wheels are set to the optimum position according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Incorrect alignment is inevitable over time. However, it can have some serious detrimental effects on your tyres, including:
- Improves vehicle handling
- Increases tyre lifespan by evenly distributing wear
- Improves fuel efficiency
- Reduces tyre wear, saving money on early replacements
- Maintains proper vehicle suspension alignment, crucial for ride comfort
- Improves stability and cornering performance
- Aligns vehicle’s suspension system to manufacturer’s specifications for optimal performance
- Reduces stress on car components, preventing costly repairs
