Wheel alignment involves adjusting the angles of the wheels to the manufacturer’s specifications. This process corrects the angles of the tyres relative to each other and to the road surface.
Key alignment angles include camber, caster, and toe. Camber measures the tilt of the tyre inwards or outwards from vertical when viewed from the front.
Caster measures the angle of the steering axis when viewed from the side. Toe measures the angle of the tyres relative to each other when viewed from above.
Proper wheel alignment ensures even tire wear, stable steering, and improved fuel efficiency.
Signs that your vehicle may need a wheel alignment include uneven tyre wear, pulling to one side while driving, or a crooked steering wheel when driving straight.
