Wheel alignment (also called tracking) is the adjustment of your vehicle’s suspension angles so your wheels sit straight and true. Correct alignment improves handling, tyre life, and fuel efficiency.

Common signs include:

• Car pulling left or right while driving

• Uneven or rapid tyre wear

• Steering wheel not centred

• Vibrations through the steering wheel

• Poor handling or stability

If you notice any of these, contact Express Vehicle Services and book an appointment

Typical causes include:

• Hitting potholes or kerbs

• Speed bumps taken too fast

• Worn suspension components

• Accident damage

• Regular wear and tear over time

Express Vehicle Services recommend checking alignment:

• Annually,

• After fitting new tyres,

• After suspension or steering repairs,

• After hitting a pothole or kerb hard.

At Express Vehicle Services, alignment check includes:

• Front and rear wheel angle measurements

• Toe, camber, and caster checks

• Steering and suspension inspection

• Adjustment to manufacturer specifications (where adjustable)

At Express Vehicle Services most alignment jobs take 30–45 minutes, depending on the vehicle and whether adjustments are needed.

• Service: Not usually included, but we can add it on request.

• MOT: Alignment is not part of the MOT test.em description
