Wheel Alignment

Improper alignment is a major cause of tyre wear. A properly aligned vehicle can add thousands of miles to tyre life and add better fuel mileage.

Multi-Dimensional Digital Imaging is the latest technology in 4-Wheel Alignment. Using Digital Cameras that read data out of wheel attached sensors and provide them on live computer display for accurate reading and adjustment of front and rear wheels.

We measure your car for FREE and quote you for the cost of adjustment if needed. Our prices start from £35+VAT for most cars that need only front Toe adjustment (also known as Tracking).

What is 4-Wheel Alignment
	The Toe is a measurement of how much the front and/or rear wheels are turned in (+) or out (-) from a straight-ahead position. The actual amount of toe is normally only a fraction of a degree. The purpose of toe is to ensure that the wheels roll parallel and in straight direction. Improper toe adjustment will cause premature tyre wear and cause steering instability.
Camber is the angle of the wheel, measured in degrees, when viewed from the front of the vehicle. If the top of the wheel is leaning out from the center of the car, then the camber is positive ,if it's leaning in, then the camber is negative. If the camber is out of adjustment, it will cause tyre wear on one side of the tyre's tread. If the camber is too far negative, for instance, then the tyre will wear on the inside of the tread.
	When you turn the steering wheel, the front wheels respond by turning on a pivot attached to the suspension system. Caster is the angle of this steering pivot, measured in degrees, when viewed from the side of the vehicle. If the top of the pivot is leaning toward the rear of the car, then the caster is positive, if it is leaning toward the front, it is negative. If the caster is out of adjustment, it can cause problems in straight line tracking.
