Frequently Asked Questions
What is wheel alignment?
Wheel alignment ensures your vehicle’s wheels are set to the correct angles as specified by the manufacturer. Proper alignment improves handling, tyre wear, and overall driving safety.
How do I know if my car needs wheel alignment?
Common signs include uneven tyre wear, the car pulling to one side, a crooked steering wheel, or vibration while driving. If you notice any of these, an alignment check is recommended.
How often should wheel alignment be checked?
Most experts recommend checking alignment every 12 months or whenever you hit a pothole, kerb, or notice changes in handling or tyre wear.
What causes wheel alignment to go out of adjustment?
Common causes include potholes, speed bumps, kerb impacts, worn suspension components, or general wear over time.
Is wheel alignment the same as wheel balancing?
No — alignment adjusts the angles of the wheels, while balancing ensures the weight of the wheel and tyre is evenly distributed. Both are important for smooth, safe driving.
Can poor wheel alignment affect fuel economy?
Yes — misaligned wheels create extra rolling resistance, causing the engine to work harder and use more fuel.
