What is Wheel Alignment?

Wheel alignment adjusts the angles of your tires so they contact the road correctly. Misalignment is common after hitting a pothole or curb, and causes rapid tire wear and pulling. A four-wheel alignment is recommended after any suspension work or if the steering wheel is off-centre.

  • Car pulls left or right
  • Steering wheel off-centre on straight road
  • Rapid or uneven tire wear
  • Vibration at highway speeds

Should I go to a dealership or an independent shop for wheel alignment in London?
