How do I know my Wheel Alignment is out?
Vehicle Pulling Left or Right
When your vehicles wheel alignment is off you may notice it pulling right or left even though your steering wheel is aimed straight ahead. This causes the driver to constantly keep adjusting steering which is inefficient, tiring and dangerous.
Uneven Wear on Tyre's
Another sign of bad wheel alignment is uneven wear on Tyre's. This can be hard to notice visibly if it is wearing the inside edge of the Tyre and compromising the safety of your vehicle. Come see our vehicle inspectors for a free Tyre assessment and recommendation.
Steering wheel off center
The steering wheel is off center even when driving straight.

When should I get a Wheel Alignment?
- New Tyres are fitted
- Steering / Suspension components are replaced
- After hitting the kerb or pot hole
- As well as all the above. A general is to check your wheel yearly or every 10,000 km (which ever occurs first)
