Wheel alignment, which is sometimes called “tracking,” is the mechanical adjustment of the angles of the wheels so that they make contact with the road surface.
The manufacturer will tell you what the best angles are for your car so that it can handle and perform at its best.
Alignment affects safety and tyre wear, so it is an important part of keeping your car in good shape.
Why do you need to have your wheels aligned?
Alignment needs to be done after some repairs are done. For example, if a mechanic has replaced parts of the suspension, he may recommend wheel alignment.
Most of the time, though, it’s caused by hitting a pothole or a curb, or anything else that makes the wheels spin out of sync.
Signs that the wheels aren’t lined up right
• Vibrations through the steering wheel
• The steering wheel isn’t in the middle when driving straight
• The car pulls to one side or the other
• Uneven tread wear
