Wheel Alignment

Wheel Aligners

What is wheel alignment?

Wheel alignment refers to the angle of the wheels in comparison to each other and the body of the vehicle.  In short, whether your wheels are pointing in the right direction.

Your car’s wheel alignment can be knocked out simply by hitting a pothole in the road.

Spend less on petrol and know your car is creating less pollution.

When should I get my wheel alignment checked?

Consider getting your wheel alignment checked if –

  • Your vehicle doesn’t hold the road well or feels unstable
  • You’re experiencing steering problems including pulling to one side, difficulty turning the steering wheel or the steering wheel isn’t straight while driving
  • Your tyre treads are wearing unevenly or screech when turning
  • You have hit a kerb, pothole or road hazard
  • You have had new tyres installed
  • Your car’s handling and ride comfort is just not what it once was

Experts recommend you get your wheel alignment checked every few years or every 6000 miles, for safe, predictable vehicle control, less strain/wear on your vehicle and improved performance.

Camber alignment

Camber is the inward or outward tilt of the front tires as viewed from the front of the vehicle, and is used to distribute load across the entire tyre tread.

Our branches at Salhouse Road Norwich, Reepham Road Norwich and Cambridge can also check your vehicle’s camber alignment, as well as provide a printed report for your information as part of a free wheel alignment check.

If you notice that the inside or the outside of your tyres are wearing unevenly, consider getting your camber checked. Ask our staff at Salhouse Road Norwich, Reepham Road Norwich or Cambridge for more information about this additional service.
