Regular alignment checks are an essential part of a vehicle’s service maintenance schedule.
Every day driving affects wheel alignment and over time, wheels can become misaligned. Poor road conditions, potholes, kerbing a vehicle and worn suspension components will also impact on a vehicles wheel alignment.
Why do you need Wheel Alignment?
Most sources recommend an alignment service every 10,000 miles, 1 to 3 years, with each new set of tyres or when replacing steering and suspension components. It only takes 10mins to perform a wheel alignment check and It’s estimated that 1 in 5 cars coming into a workshop will have an alignment issue and on average every fourteenth check will highlight vehicle issues that will require additional parts and labour work to be carried out.
