Wheel alignment can gradually move out of specification through everyday driving. Potholes, kerbs, uneven roads and wear in steering or suspension components can all affect your vehicle’s alignment.
If you’re unsure, your local Tyrepower can inspect your tyres and advise whether a wheel alignment is recommended.
Not sure if your vehicle needs a wheel alignment?
Correct wheel alignment isn’t just about making your vehicle drive straight.
It can help:
A wheel alignment measures the angles of your vehicle’s wheels against the manufacturer’s specifications.
Professional wheel alignment equipment allows our technicians to accurately measure the vehicle and, where adjustments are available, correct the alignment to help it track and handle as intended.
The main measurements include:
Toe – whether the wheels point slightly inward or outward when viewed from above.
Camber – the inward or outward angle of the wheel when viewed from the front.
Caster – the angle of the steering axis, which can affect steering stability and return.
Not every adjustment is available on every vehicle, and your local Tyrepower can advise what is appropriate for yours.
If you’re investing in a new set of tyres, it’s worth checking whether your wheel alignment is correct.
Incorrect alignment can cause uneven tyre wear and reduce the life you get from your new tyres.
Uneven tyre wear, your vehicle pulling to one side, an off-centre steering wheel or changes in handling can all be signs that your wheel alignment should be checked.
For more information see the link below to our helpful article.
It’s worth considering, particularly if your previous tyres showed uneven wear or your vehicle hasn’t had its alignment checked recently. Correct alignment can help protect your investment in new tyres.
Pricing varies depending on the vehicle, the alignment required and the individual Tyrepower store. Contact your local Tyrepower for current pricing.
The time required can vary depending on the vehicle, the adjustments required and whether any steering or suspension issues are identified. Your local Tyrepower can advise when booking.
Yes. A significant pothole or kerb impact can affect wheel alignment and may also cause damage to tyres, wheels, steering or suspension components.
Not necessarily. Vibration can have several causes, including wheel balance, tyres, wheels or steering and suspension components. Your local Tyrepower can inspect the vehicle and recommend the appropriate service.
There isn’t one set interval that applies to every vehicle. It’s worth having your alignment checked if you notice unusual tyre wear or changes in handling, after a significant pothole or kerb impact, following steering or suspension work, or when fitting new tyres.
Tyrepower stores across New Zealand offer professional wheel alignment services alongside expert tyre advice and fitting.
Whether you’re fitting new tyres, experiencing uneven tyre wear or have noticed a change in the way your vehicle handles, your local Tyrepower can help.
Find your nearest Tyrepower store and ask about a wheel alignment.
