What Is Wheel Alignment?
Wheel alignment is the adjustment of your vehicle’s steering and suspension geometry. Over time, your wheels can become misaligned due to potholes, kerbs, speed bumps, worn suspension parts or general road use.
When the alignment is incorrect, your tyres may not sit correctly on the road. This can cause uneven tyre wear, poor handling and increased running costs.

Why Wheel Alignment Is Important
Correct wheel alignment helps your vehicle drive as the manufacturer intended. It can also save you money by helping your tyres last longer.
Benefits of wheel alignment include:
– Improved tyre lifespan

Poor alignment can cause tyres to wear out much quicker, meaning you may need to replace them sooner than expected.

Wheel Alignment After Suspension or Steering Repairs
Wheel alignment is especially important after suspension or steering work has been carried out. If parts such as track rod ends, suspension arms, shock absorbers, springs or steering components have been replaced, the wheel alignment should be checked and adjusted where required.
At LSL Auto Centre, we can inspect your vehicle, carry out repairs where needed and complete the wheel alignment to help ensure everything is set correctly.
