So what is four wheel alignment ?

Over time as the car and its components have evolved, so has the way cars steering and suspension are set up along with the way in which steering geometry is measured.

The modern car is built for comfort, handling and performance. In order to achieve and maintain the best handling, ride and optimum tyre wear possible, the steering and suspension need to be checked periodically and adjustments made if necessary to ensure all four wheels are correctly aligned in accordance with the manufacturers specifications.

What are the benefits ?

• Incorrectly aligned steering geometry is a major contributor of premature tyre wear and over time correctly maintained wheel alignment can add thousands of extra miles to a tyres life saving you money in the process.  
• Improved fuel consumption - every tyre creates an amount drag. This is the degree of resistance created between the tyre and road surface. Incorrectly aligned wheels create an increased amount of drag which although small, create increased engine effort and in turn an increase in fuel consumption as a result.
• Improved handling - All vehicle manufacturers determine alignment angles to provide optimum handling, ride and tyre wear in order to create the most enjoyable driving experience.   
• Aids environmental concerns in the process by helping to reduce emissions as a result of decreased fuel consumption.
• Helps reduce the need for tyre disposal as quickly as a result of prolonged tyre life which in turn reduces environmental impact and costs associated with tyre disposal.
