What exactly is wheel alignment? Simply put, wheel alignments refer to the position of your vehicle's wheels. All cars are designed so that they provide exact steering and braking responses - but this doesn't happen if the wheel alignment angles aren't set correctly for that particular car. By having a wheel alignment checked and realigned if necessary at least once a year during a service, you'll notice some awesome benefits!

• Increased fuel economy.
• Prolonged tyre life.
• Braking and steering response is improved.
• Straight-line tracking is improved.
• Driver fatigue will be reduced because you're experiencing an overall smoother ride.

Keeping your car's wheels in proper alignment is integral to its overall maintenance and upkeep. However, this important step too often gets ignored or side-lined until the first symptoms of poor wheel alignment appear—usually in the form of damaged tyres.

As soon as you notice these symptoms developing (e.g., uneven wear on your tyre edges), here are some things to keep an eye out for...

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

The best time to get a wheel alignment is when the vehicles wheels are visibly out of alignment, but there are also other good 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
