What to Look Out For
- Your vehicle is pulling to one side: This is one of the most common signs your car’s wheels aren’t correctly aligned. Once realigned, your vehicle will steer normally again.
- You’re experiencing uneven tyre wear: Are your tyre treads wearing out quicker than others? Save money on buying new ones and get your wheels aligned today!
- Your tyres make squealing sounds: This is often caused by turning or accelerating with uneven tyres. A wheel alignment will put a stop to these ear-splitting noises.
FAQ
How often should wheel alignments be done?
Most manufacturers recommend a wheel alignment every 10,000–15,000 km, or at least once a year, but the ideal frequency depends on driving conditions. Vehicles that regularly travel on rough roads, carry heavy loads or encounter potholes may need alignments more often. Any time new tyres are fitted, suspension work is done or the car experiences a significant impact, an alignment check is beneficial. Staying on top of alignment maintenance not only improves safety but also extends tyre lifespan and maintains optimal fuel efficiency.
What happens if I drive with bad wheel alignment?
Driving with poor alignment can lead to several long-term issues. Tyres wear unevenly and much faster, which increases replacement costs. Misalignment also affects handling, making the vehicle feel unstable or difficult to control, especially in wet conditions or at higher speeds. Over time, this extra strain can put pressure on the suspension and steering components, potentially causing them to wear out prematurely. In severe cases, prolonged misalignment can compromise braking performance and overall road safety.
How long does a wheel alignment take and what does it involve?
A standard wheel alignment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the vehicle type and condition. Modern workshops use advanced 3D imaging or laser equipment to measure multiple angles — such as camber, caster and toe — to ensure the wheels are set to the manufacturer’s specifications. The technician adjusts the suspension components to correct any deviations, then verifies the vehicle tracks straight and the steering wheel is centred. A proper alignment ensures maximum tyre contact with the road, improving handling, braking and overall driving comfort.
