Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my wheels need aligning?
Signs include the car pulling to one side, uneven tyre wear, the steering wheel not being centred when driving straight, or a vibrating steering wheel. Alignment should be checked after hitting a pothole, kerb, or fitting new tyres.
Is 2-wheel or 4-wheel alignment better?
4-wheel alignment is always more thorough and recommended. Front-only alignment is cheaper but doesn't address rear misalignment, which can cause the car to 'crab' (drive slightly sideways).
