WHEEL ALIGNMENT IN MEDOWIE
Put simply, the term “wheel alignment” refers to how well (or otherwise) the wheels on your vehicle are aligned relative to each other and the centre line of the vehicle. While alignment settings differ between manufacturers as well as models, all vehicles are designed to deliver accurate steering and braking responses – but only if the wheel alignment angles are correct.
What are the Benefits of Wheel Alignment?
- Increased fuel economy.
- Prolonged tyre life.
- Braking and steering response is improved.
- Straight-line tracking is improved, and driver fatigue is decreased since the overall driving experience is improved.
Signs You Need A Wheel Alignment
Maintaining the wheel alignment on your car is an integral aspect of its overall maintenance and upkeep. However, this very significant step is often ignored or skipped until the first symptoms of poor wheel alignment show up in the form of ruined tyres. Here are some common signs to look out for
- Uneven/accelerated wear and tear on the edges of your tyres. Usually caused by a toe out or toe in condition.
- Car’s steering wheel is not returning to the dead ahead position.
- Your car pulls to one side when travelling along.
- Under-responsive steering. While poor steering can be caused by wheel alignment it may be linked to a more serious problem behind the wheel that needs professional diagnosis.
