Wheel Alignment refers to the process of adjusting the angles of a vehicle's wheels to match the manufacturer's specifications. This adjustment ensures that the tyres wear evenly, providing optimal handling and prevents unnecessary wear and tear on the suspension system.

We can combine our fully qualified expertise and knowledge with our local understanding of the driving conditions in Cooroy to not only make sure your wheels are aligned correctly, but to confirm there are no underlying issues with the technologies behind the wheel that keep you safe on the roads.

Put simply, the term “wheel alignment” refers to the process of adjusting the angles of a vehicle's wheels so that they are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. It involves adjusting the caster, camber and toe angles to improve vehicle handling and reduce tyre wear.

There are numerous benefits of wheel alignment, such as improved handling, better fuel efficiency, smoother driving experience and increased tyre lifespan. Proper alignment ensures that the vehicle travels in a straight line and does not pull to the left or right, improving driving safety.

• Increased fuel economy
• Prolonged tyre life
• Braking and steering response is improved
• Straight-line tracking is improved
• driver fatigue is reduced as the overall driving experience is improved

If you feel that your car pulls to one side when you are driving, the steering wheel is not centered when you are driving straight, the tyres are wearing unevenly or there is a vibration or shaking while driving, these are signs that you need a wheel alignment. It's always better to get your vehicle checked if you experience any of these symptoms.....

• Uneven or accelerated wear on the edges of your tyres
• The steering has a “mushy” feel or has become less responsive
• If your car's steering wheel pulls to one side

It is recommended to get a wheel alignment once a year or whenever you buy new tyres. You should also get your car aligned after a significant event such as a collision, hitting a curb or a pothole or after any suspension repairs. Regular alignment check-ups can help you avoid more expensive repairs in the future, but there are also other “best” times:

• When you rotate the tyres
• When you replace one or more tyres
• When you replace standard, steel rims with lightweight alloy rims
• After any maintenance or repairs on steering or suspension systems - both front and rear
• When you perform any modification that alters the vehicle ride height or weight distribution
