4-Wheel Laser Alignment

Signs Your Vehicle Needs Alignment

Uneven Tyre Wear: Excessive wear on one edge of the tyre, or different wear patterns between left and right tyres are clear indicators of alignment problems that need immediate attention.

Vehicle Pulling: If your vehicle pulls to one side when driving straight, or you need to hold the steering wheel at an angle to maintain straight-line driving, alignment adjustment is needed.

Steering Issues: Vibration in the steering wheel, loose or wandering steering feel, or steering wheel not returning to center after cornering all indicate alignment problems.

After Impact: Any impact with kerbs, potholes, or accidents can knock wheels out of alignment. Regular alignment checks help identify problems before they cause expensive tyre damage.

Alignment Problem Signs

Our Precision Alignment Process

We follow a thorough, systematic process to ensure your vehicle's alignment is perfect and all angles meet manufacturer specifications.

1

Pre-Alignment Inspection

Comprehensive check of tyres, suspension components, and steering system to identify any issues that could affect alignment results.

2

Initial Measurements

Precise laser measurement of current wheel alignment angles including toe, camber, caster, and steering axis inclination for all four wheels.

3

Manufacturer Comparison

Compare current readings against manufacturer specifications to identify which angles need adjustment and by how much.

4

Precision Adjustment

Careful adjustment of alignment angles using proper tools and techniques to bring all measurements within manufacturer tolerances.

5

Steering Centering

Ensure steering wheel is perfectly centered when driving straight, providing optimal control and driver comfort.

6

Final Verification

Complete re-measurement to verify all angles are correct, followed by road test to ensure perfect alignment performance.

Understanding Alignment Angles

Modern vehicles have complex suspension geometry with multiple angles that work together to provide optimal handling, tyre wear, and stability. Understanding these angles helps explain why proper alignment is so important.

  • Toe: Whether wheels point inward or outward affects tyre wear and straight-line stability
  • Camber: Inward or outward tilt of wheels affects cornering grip and tyre contact patch
  • Caster: Forward or backward tilt of steering axis affects stability and steering return
  • Thrust Angle: Rear axle alignment relative to vehicle centerline affects tracking
  • SAI: Steering Axis Inclination affects steering feel and wheel return characteristics
  • Included Angle: Combination of camber and SAI indicating potential suspension damage

Our computerized alignment system measures all these angles precisely and compares them to your vehicle's specific manufacturer settings.

  • New Tyres: When fitting new tyres to maximize their lifespan
  • Uneven Wear: As soon as irregular tyre wear patterns are noticed

Benefits of Proper Alignment

Regular alignment maintenance provides multiple benefits:

  • Tyre Life: Up to 50% longer tyre life with even wear patterns
  • Fuel Economy: Reduced rolling resistance improves MPG
  • Handling: Better vehicle control and stability in all conditions
  • Safety: Improved braking and emergency handling response

Frequently Asked Questions About 4-Wheel Alignment

How do I know if my vehicle needs alignment?

Common signs include uneven tyre wear, vehicle pulling to one side, steering wheel vibration, or having to hold the steering wheel at an angle to drive straight. If you've hit a kerb or pothole recently, it's worth having the alignment checked.

How long does 4-wheel alignment take?

A complete 4-wheel alignment typically takes 60-90 minutes including initial inspection, measurement, adjustment, and final verification. More time may be needed if suspension components require attention before alignment.

Can alignment fix my steering wheel vibration?

Alignment can fix vibration caused by misaligned wheels, but vibration can also be caused by wheel balancing issues, worn suspension components, or warped brake discs. We'll diagnose the exact cause and recommend the appropriate solution.

Do I need alignment after new tyres?

While not always essential, alignment after new tyres ensures maximum tyre life and optimal performance. If your old tyres showed uneven wear, alignment is definitely recommended to prevent the same problem with new tyres.

What if my vehicle cannot be aligned to specification?

If alignment cannot be achieved, it usually indicates worn suspension components that need replacement first. We'll provide a detailed report showing what needs attention and quote for any necessary repairs before alignment.

Do you provide a printout of the alignment results?

Yes, we provide a detailed before and after printout showing all alignment measurements compared to manufacturer specifications. This document proves the work was completed and shows the improvement achieved.
