What is wheel alignment?

Wheel alignment involves a series of adjustments to make sure the vehicle's tyres are making optimum contact to the road.

Although the term 'wheel alignment' could make you think it's just the wheels that are adjusted - it's actually the vehicle's suspension components that are adjusted to change how the tyres sit on the road.

When carrying out four wheel alignment, there are four different angles that will be adjusted.

They are:

Tyre Camber

The term 'camber' relates to the angle of the wheels when the car is viewed from head on. If the wheels appear to tilt one way or another, the camber needs to be adjusted.

Toe

The term 'toe' relates to the direction your wheels point if they were viewed from above. They may be angled slightly inward or outward - but should be perfectly straight.

Caster 

Caster' refers to the angle at which the suspension struts sit in relation to the road. This is often referred to as the 'steering axis'.

Neutral caster would mean the strut sits at a perfect 90-degree angle. Positive caster means the suspension strut is angled towards the driver - whereas negative caster means the strut is angled towards the front of the vehicle.

Thrust

The thrust angle of a vehicle relates to the angle of the rear axle. For maximum efficiency, the thrust angle of the rear wheels and axle will usually be parallel to the front axle. 

What are the correct wheel alignments for your vehicle?

Every vehicle is designed a little differently - so the goal when having your wheels aligned is to reset these angles and measurements back to their factory settings.

What are some signs that you need a wheel alignment service?

There are typical symptoms to look for if you think your wheel alignment needs looking at:

Off-centre steering wheel

If your steering wheel seems to be off-centre when you're driving straight, it's likely that your wheel alignment needs attention.

Vehicle pulling to one side

If the car pulls to one side as you're driving or as you're braking, it could be an indication that you need front end alignment attention

Uneven tyre wear

If your tyres aren't sitting evenly on the road surface, you may find that they wear more on the inside or the outside of the tread.

Steering wheel not returning

The steering components in your car are linked directly to suspension components - so if your wheel doesn't return to centre after turning, you may need a wheel alignment.

Handling feeling loose

If your car's handling feels looser or less responsive than usual - wheel alignment could be having an effect on the steering column and the way the car handles.

What do wheel alignment car services involve?

Wheel alignment involves the use of specialist tools that are used exclusively for adjusting the angles we've talked about above. 

The wheel alignment machine is fixed to the wheel and offers information about the car's alignment. Then, a qualified mechanic will make small adjustments to the suspension set up to bring everything back to the factory settings.
