Four Wheel Alignment

What is Four Wheel Alignment?

Four wheel alignment, sometimes interchanged with terms like four wheel tracking, is essential in maintaining your vehicle's optimal performance, handling and tyre health. This process involves fine-tuning the angles of the wheels to the car manufacturer's specifications using various adjustment points in the suspension, ensuring they are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground. Regular alignment enhances fuel efficiency, prolongs tyre life, and ensures your vehicle handles predictably in hazardous conditions.

Signs Your Vehicle Needs Alignment

If your vehicle pulls to one side, shows uneven tyre wear, or you notice a steering wheel vibration, it might be time for a four wheel alignment. These signs can indicate that the alignment is off, affecting your car's safety and driving efficiency. Addressing these issues promptly at a Protyre garage can prevent further complications and ensure your vehicle performs as intended, keeping you safe on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between four wheel alignment and front end alignment?

 Four wheel alignment adjusts all four wheels of your vehicle, ensuring they are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the road, which optimises driving stability and tyre wear. Front end alignment, often referred to as "two-wheel alignment," only involves the front wheels, aligning them with each other and to the vehicle's centre line, in addition to ensuring correct vertical alignment, also known as camber. While front end alignment is sufficient for some vehicles, four wheel alignment provides a more comprehensive adjustment, particularly for all-wheel-drive models and vehicles with independent rear suspension.

How often should I get my vehicle's wheels aligned?

 It's best to have your vehicle's wheels aligned every 10,000 to 15,000 miles or at least once a year. However, if you frequently drive on rough roads, or if you notice any symptoms such as uneven tyre wear or your vehicle pulling to one side, this may indicate you need to have the alignment checked at the earliest opportunity.
