Wheel Alignment

When a car leaves a manufacturing facility or a showroom, it is in its best shape possible. The brand manufacturers ensure that you get a perfect specimen of their work. But the condition of anything never remains the same. Over time, the components of the car will get degraded, depending on how they are treated. 

One of the things that lose their condition is the wheel alignment of the vehicle. Wheel alignment is referred to the parallelism of the tyres with each other.  Another aspect that is considered in wheel alignment is the perpendicularity of the wheels with the road. When a car leaves the manufacturing facility, it has its wheel appropriately aligned, but as time passes the wheels lose their alignment.

How to spot if your vehicle needs an alignment correction?

• Your vehicle pulls to one side on the application of the brakes, even when you are stopping at a slow speed.
• Uneven wearing of your tyres' treads
• The fuel efficiency of your car starts to decline

What are the different types of wheel alignments?

Camber: When you take a look at your wheels while standing in front of the car and find a tilt in the wheels, then your car suffers from a camber alignment problem. Depending on the side of the tilt, it will be termed as a positive or a negative camber alignment. If the tilt is pointing the tyres inwards, it is identified as a negative camber, while if the wheels are pointing outwards, away from the centre of the vehicle, it will be called positive camber.

Toe: Same as the camber alignment problem, the toe is also a problem concerning the tilt of the wheels. The only difference is that the tilt can be spotted when seen from the top of the vehicle. The vehicles with an inward angle have a toe-in problem, while for an outward tilt, it is identified as a toe-out problem.

Caster: Caster is not directly linked to the wheels of the vehicle. Instead, it is the tilting of the steering axis. When the axis is tilted backwards, it is called a positive caster, while when the axis is angled forward, it is called a negative caster.
