What Is Wheel Alignment?
Wheel alignment, also called tracking, involves adjusting the angles of your tyres relative to your vehicle's suspension specifications. This ensures tyres meet the road surface correctly, improving handling, fuel efficiency, and tyre life. Misalignment occurs due to potholes, hitting curbs, or worn suspension parts, and can cause poor steering, vibration, and rapid tyre wear.
