What is Wheel Alignment

Wheel alignment is the process of adjusting the angles of your cars wheels to match the manufacturers specifications It involves adjusting three critical angles

• Camber The angle of the wheel when viewed from the front
• Toe The degree to which the tyres turn in or out when viewed from directly above
• Caster The angle of the steering pivot which has a direct effect on stability and cornering

If these angles are not set correctly your tyres will wear down unevenly and your car will not handle properly

What Causes Wheel Alignment Problems

Wheel alignment problems are more common than you think They can be caused by a variety of factors including

• Hitting potholes very common in London
• Hitting kerbs
• Speed bumps
• Minor accidents
• Suspension wear
• Replacing suspension parts

Even regular driving on Park Royal industrial roads or Wembley high streets can cause misalignment over time

What Are the Signs of a Wheel Alignment Problem

The signs are clear

• Off center steering wheel
• Car pulling to the left or right
• Uneven tire wear
• Vibration in the steering wheel
• Poor fuel efficiency
• Squealing tires

If you experience any of these problems while driving in Acton or Willesden an alignment check is in order

How Wheel Alignment Saves You Money

Many people believe that wheel alignment is unnecessary extra work but it is actually a money saving service Here is how it adds up

Increases Tyre Life

Misaligned wheels lead to uneven tire wear For instance

• One side of the tire wears down faster
• Centre tread wears down faster
• Tires may need to be replaced months sooner

A new set of tires can cost you hundreds of pounds Alignment ensures even tire wear which increases tyre life by a significant margin Replacing tires prematurely is a much bigger expense than wheel alignment

Improves Fuel Efficiency

Misaligned wheels increase tire drag This means

• Your engine works harder
• You consume more fuel
• You pay more at the pump

Alignment fixes the problem reducing drag and improving fuel efficiency especially for regular commuters in Ealing and Wembley Over the course of a year this can translate into big savings

Protects Your Suspension

Driving with misaligned wheels puts extra pressure on

• Suspension parts
• Steering components
• Wheel bearings

Neglecting wheel alignment can result in costly repairs such as
