Tyre Installation

Q: What is wheel alignment, and why is it necessary for my vehicle?

Wheel alignment becomes necessary when your tyres exhibit uneven wear or when your vehicle tends to veer to one side. While it's crucial to address alignment issues promptly, it's generally advisable to have your vehicle's wheel alignment checked annually. Wheel alignment involves adjusting the angles of the wheels to ensure they are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. This process aims to maximize tyre lifespan, enhance fuel efficiency, and maintain a straight trajectory when driving on level roads. Symptoms indicating a need for wheel alignment include: Uneven or rapid tyre wear Drifting or wandering on a straight, level road Pulling away from a straight line Steering wheel spokes off-center while driving on a straight road If a vehicle has loose or worn front-end suspension parts, wheel alignment is not possible. Before initiating the alignment process, the technician will inspect for any worn components and inform you of the findings. A four-wheel alignment is considered the most effective type. Many modern cars feature adjustable rear alignment settings, and even those without such adjustments can benefit from a four-wheel alignment. This comprehensive approach allows technicians to identify and address rear tracking issues by making necessary adjustments to the front alignment. After the wheel alignment procedure, it is essential to drive the car on a straight and level road. Ensure the vehicle maintains a straight trajectory and the steering wheel spokes are level. If any issues are observed, return to the technician for further adjustments and fine-tuning of the alignment settings.

Q: What is wheel balancing, and why is it important?

Wheel balancing ensures smooth tyre and wheel rotation without causing vibrations. This process involves identifying heavy spots in the wheel-tire combination and counteracting them by placing a precisely measured weight on the opposite side of the wheel. When tyres are out of balance, the car may vibrate, especially at speeds between 80 and 120 km/h. Symptoms of an unbalanced wheel include: Vibration in the steering wheel at specific highway speeds. Vibration in the seat or floorboard at particular highway speeds. Even a minor imbalance of 10 or 20 grams on a front wheel can cause noticeable vibrations in the steering wheel around 100 km/h. Balancing all four wheels often results in a noticeably smoother driving experience. In some cases, hitting a pothole can dislodge the weight attached to the wheel, causing an imbalance. Regular wheel balancing is essential for maintaining optimal vehicle performance and a comfortable driving experience.
