TRACKING

Wheel alignment

Incorrect alignment can result in rapid irregular tyre wear and can even affect the handling and safety of the vehicle.

Wheel alignment can be affected by driving against a kerb, hitting a pothole in the road or by excessive wear to steering or suspension components. Alignment of the wheels is important to get the maximum wear from your tyres as well as maintaining good road holding.

Wheel alignment or 'tracking' involves checking suspension angles against vehicle manufacturers' specifications. This is often described as toe in or toe out.

"Toe" refers to whether the front of the tyres are closer or further apart than the rear of the tyres. Different vehicle types need different toe settings to allow for the way the wheels either pull towards each other or apart when driving.
