Wheel Alignment Check

Wheel alignment is an important part of car care. It determines the angle and direction of which your tyres are set.

Your wheels need to be aligned to the recommended position as outlined in your vehicle's manufacturer specification.

Hitting kerbs or driving at speed through a pothole can result in wheel misalignment. Tyres which are poorly aligned may quickly deteriorate due to wear and tear.

Signs that you need to get your wheel alignments checked:

  1. Uneven tread wear.
  2. Vehicle pulling to the left or right.
  3. Your steering wheel is off centre when driving straight.
  4. Steering wheel vibration.
