- Uneven or rapid tyre wear
- Steering wheel off-centre when driving straight
- Vibration through the steering wheel
- After hitting potholes or curbs
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Alignment
Modern vehicles equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems require exceptional precision in wheel alignment. These sophisticated safety systems rely on cameras, sensors, and radar units that must be perfectly calibrated to function correctly.
How Wheel Alignment Works
Wheel alignment involves adjusting the angles of your wheels to match the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. These precise measurements ensure your tyres make optimal contact with the road surface and that your vehicle tracks straight and true.
Camber:
The inward or outward tilt of the wheel when viewed from the front of the vehicle. Correct camber ensures even tyre wear across the tread width and optimal cornering performance.
Caster:
The forward or backward tilt of the steering axis when viewed from the side. Proper caster angle provides steering stability and helps the wheels return to centre after turning.
Toe:
The degree to which wheels point inward or outward when viewed from above. Correct toe alignment prevents tyre scrubbing and ensures straight-line tracking.
The Importance of Proper Wheel Alignment
Enhanced Safety and Control
Misaligned wheels compromise your vehicle’s handling and stability, particularly during emergency manoeuvres or adverse weather conditions. Proper alignment ensures predictable steering response and optimal braking performance, keeping you and your passengers safe on Cornwall’s varied road conditions.
Extended Tyre Life
Incorrect alignment is one of the leading causes of premature tyre wear. Misaligned wheels cause tyres to scrub against the road surface, creating uneven wear patterns that can reduce tyre life by up to 50%. Our precision alignment services maximise your tyre investment by ensuring even wear across the entire tread surface.
Improved Fuel Economy
When wheels are properly aligned, your vehicle rolls more efficiently with reduced rolling resistance. Misalignment forces your engine to work harder to maintain speed, increasing fuel consumption. Proper alignment can improve fuel economy by up to 10%, saving money at the pump.
Reduced Component Wear
Misalignment places additional stress on suspension components, steering systems, and wheel bearings. By maintaining correct alignment, you reduce wear on these expensive components, avoiding costly repairs and extending your vehicle’s service life.
