Improved Handling
If your car pulls to one side or the steering wheel vibrates or do you constantly have to move the steering wheel to keep your car travelling straight ahead? Many handling problems can be corrected by total alignment. With all the system components aligned properly, road shock is more efficiently absorbed for a smoother ride.
Why Four Wheel Alignment?
Reduced Tyre Wear. Improper alignment is a major cause of premature tyre wear. Over the years, a properly aligned vehicle can add thousands of miles to tyre life reducing your costs..
Better Fuel Economy
Fuel consumption increases as rolling resistance increases. Total alignment sets all four wheels in parallel which, along with proper inflation, minimizes rolling resistance. With fuel costs rapidly rising, you need to make sure you costs are reduced as much as possible.
Safer Driving
A suspension system inspection is part of our alignment procedure. This allows us to spot worn parts before they cause costly problems.
Here's what we do:
For vehicles with non-adjustable rear suspensions:
-
Angle readings are measured at all four wheels.
-
The steering wheel is centred.
-
Front wheels are aligned to the rear wheels and set to specifications.
Result: All four wheels are parallel and the steering wheel is centred.
For vehicles with adjustable rear suspensions:
-
Angle readings are made at all four wheels.
-
Rear wheels are set to specification. (Rear thrust line corresponds to the vehicle centreline.)
-
Steering wheel is centred.
-
Front wheels are referenced to rear thrust line and set to specifications.
Result: All four wheels are parallel and the steering wheel is centred.
