Wheel Tracking
Wheel alignment, or car wheel tracking, is the process of setting a vehicle’s wheels to point in the correct direction, as specified by the vehicle manufacturer. This position is formulated based on the design of the steering and suspension of the vehicle and will enable your wheels to provide optimal handling.
Wheel alignment is measured by checking the angles of all four wheels to ensure that they still remain in the position specified by the vehicle manufacturer. If they do not, they can be adjusted – which is where our wheel alignment service comes in.

Wheel Alignment FAQs
Wheel tracking improves braking distance, fuel efficiency and driving quality. You should have your wheel alignment checked every 12,000 – 15,000 miles and after you have any work carried out to your suspension, steering, wheels or tyres.
It only takes small impacts such as hitting a kerb or driving over a pothole to offset your wheel alignment. Therefore, you should book a wheel alignment check if you notice any of the following:
- Your tyres are wearing abnormally or unevenly
- Your vehicle pulls to one side when driving
- Your steering wheel remains at an angle when driving in a straight line
- Your steering wheel does not return easily after a turn
Wheel alignment (also known as tracking) is an essential aspect of vehicle maintenance. Misaligned wheels can cause uneven and quick tyre wear, affecting the handling and safety of a vehicle.
Misalignment of the wheels can also result in poor fuel economy because the car must work harder to go in a straight line, which is bad not just for your wallet but also for the environment.
It is strongly advised that you have a wheel alignment performed following any repair work on your steering and/or suspension, as work on these components might cause the wheels to become misaligned.
