wheel alignment Frequently Asked Questions
Why Does My Car Need a Wheel Alignment?
Over time, the wheels on a car can become misaligned. And when this happens, a range of issues can affect both your vehicle’s performance and your safety. A car in need of a wheel alignment will typically suffer from fuel efficiency problems, steering problems, suspension problems and a general decline in road handling.
How Do Wheel Alignments Issues Occur?
In most cases, wheels that move away from the manufacturer’s specifications can be fixed relatively quickly. In most cases, the problem is caused by an event — or a series of events — on the road. For example, hitting a kerb hard can cause wheel alignment issues. Driving over potholes regularly can also cause problems.
How Does Wheel Alignment Work?
At Tyres Northampton, we use wheel alignment technology to check that all four wheels are angled in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. This involves the use of four laser imaging sensors that check a range of primary alignment angles.
