When should I check my wheel alignment?
There are a number of signs to look out for that suggest you need to get your tyres checked by a professional, including:
- When your car has hit something (from a kerb to a more serious collision)
- When you change your tyre pressure or buy a set of new tyres
- When you replace steering/suspension components
- If you notice uneven tyre wear
- If you experience steering problems with your car wheels, eg. your car drifts to one side or your steering wheel is at an angle when you’re driving in a straight line
Even if you don’t seem to be experiencing any problems with your wheel alignment, we still recommend that you have it checked annually to help prevent future issues with your car.
