Tyres & Wheel Alignmnet

Wheel Alignment

In addition to the old optical wheel alignment design gauges (often used on older agricultural vehicles) we also use Super Tracker laser and halogen tracking equipment, plus a caster and camphor angle gauge. 

Wheel Alignment is the mechanics of keeping all interrelated parts that affect steering in proper adjustment. Correct wheel alignment is essential for easy and efficient steering and to avoid abnormal tyre wear. When damage or wear occurs, the vehicle may be unsafe. All it takes to throw a front end out of alignment is one bad pothole or one good bang against a curb.

Even without abuse, front wheel alignment will change under normal, everyday driving conditions. The change may be so gradual that it is not noticed at first. The first sign of something wrong usually shows up on the front tyres, which develop peculiar wear patterns that will severely shorten the life of the tyre. When these appear, the vehicle should have its alignment checked.
