Wheel alignment is preventive maintenance overlooked by most people. Wheel alignment not only prevents your car from pulling to one side or the other, it also can improve your tyre life. It can help keep you and your family safe as well as save money with better fuel mileage. Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about wheel alignment.

What is a Wheel Alignment Service?

Basically wheel alignment is simply adjusting the angles of your vehicles' wheels so they are parallel to the other tyres and perpendicular to the ground.

Benefits of Wheel Alignment

Properly aligned tyres will track straight and true, which not only helps with fuel mileage, it also maximises the life of the tyre. In regards to safety, an aligned wheel will not pull to the right or the left. Your vehicle will also drive more smoothly with wheels that are properly aligned. Properly aligned wheels achieve maximum traction on slippery surfaces which can be important when driving in less than ideal conditions.

Types of Wheel Alignments

There are three different types of wheel alignment available at most workshops. Front end alignment is exactly what it sounds like. The front wheels of the vehicle are aligned. A thrust angle alignment deals with the alignment of the rear axle. Four wheel alignment is performed on all wheel drive vehicles as well as front wheel drive cars. It makes adjustments to both the front and real axles. 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS RECOMENDED FOR ALL CARS 10YEARS OLD OR LESS. ONLY HAVING FRONT ALIGNMENT DONE MAY NOT DETECT THE WHOLE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR.

How Often

As a general rule you should follow your owners manual recommendations, but it is a good idea to have your tyres and alignment checked every 10,000 miles or so. If your car is pulling to one side, the tyres are wearing unevenly, the vehicle is shimming or wandering, then you should have the vehicle checked immediately. Over time a vehicle will go out of alignment. Hitting a deep pothole can often throw a vehicle out of alignment as well.
