What is wheel alignment and why do I need it for my Volvo?
If the wheel alignment is out on your Volvo, the drive can be very different. You could also be forced to replace your tyres sooner than you normally would because your tyres will wear unevenly if your wheel alignment is not set correctly. If you have had your steering component changed or have recently hit a pothole, your Volvo will need its wheel alignment or tracking checked. Wheel alignment can also be known as tracking; they do mean the same thing - our technicians may use this terminology whilst attending to your Volvo. Your Volvo wheel alignment can be corrected whilst you wait as part of our Fast Fit services from our Merseyside service centre, which also features what is thought to be the biggest collection of tyres in St Helens.
Wheel alignment terminology to look out for
Here are a few words you may hear our technicians use at our St Helens car repair centre. Wheel alignment is used to check the angle and direction of your Volvo vehicle are correct. Some words such as toe-in and toe-out are also used by our technicians. This refers to whether the front tyres are closer to further apart than the tyres at the rear. If your vehicles feels as though it is steering or pulling to one side, this could be because your toe alignment isn’t correct.
Our team also use positive camber and negative camber, which is used when checking the tilt of the tyre. Before your vehicle leaves the factory the camber (inward or outward tilt of the tyre) is set by Volvo but after using the vehicle for a while it can be affected over time. Different driving trends and conditions, such as potholes or driving up the curb, can all affect the wheel alignment of your Volvo. This is just one of the reasons why you need to get your wheel alignment checked. It makes your driving experience better, it helps your tyres last longer and it makes your drive safer. We also recommend if you have recently purchased a pre-used Volvo that you have your wheel alignment or tracking checked straight away.
