Oil change? This service is required every few thousand miles. New battery? It is easy to tell when the old battery has gone.
Wheel alignment in Auckland is an option. This service is often overlooked but has many benefits, including better fuel efficiency, smoother rides, and improved vehicle safety.
We’ll be describing all the benefits of wheel alignment. This involves adjusting your vehicle’s suspension system and the connection between the vehicle and the wheels.
FUEL EFFICIENCY
Misalignment can reduce gas mileage by as much as 10%. Tires that are not aligned correctly drag instead of rolling freely. If your tires aren’t properly adjusted, you might be spending more on gas. An alignment of your wheels could save you fuel and help you fill up less frequently.
SMOOTHER RIDE
Your vehicle will pull to one side of your tires that are not aligned. This can lead to a bumpy, jarring ride or even vibrations. Elevating your wheels will improve the ride quality and enhance the behind-the-wheel experience.
STEERING IMPROVED
It’s more difficult to steer a car if its wheels are not aligned properly. It is possible to hold the steering wheel at an inconvenient angle or veer from one side to the other to drive straight. You are more likely to be involved in an accident if you lack control. You can avoid these problems by having your wheels aligned properly and maintaining control of the car.
AUTO REPAIRS ARE VERY LIMITED
It can be rough out there. A little misalignment could cause serious problems. A bad alignment can damage your suspension system and tires more than a good one. A wheel alignment is a cost-effective way to prevent costly repairs later on.
LONGER-LASTING TIRE
A misaligned wheel can lead to uneven and premature tire wear. You could spend more on new tires if you delay getting a wheel alignment. Check your tires if you are within a reasonable distance of your vehicle.
- Feathering – Tires can become “feathered” if the tread is worn down or smooth on one side and sharp on the other. A combination of improper alignment settings causes this.
- Camber wear Does your tire tread look more worn than the centre? Camber wear could be the reason. Camber is the angle of the tires on the vehicle frame. It can be either positive or negative, depending on the angle. Positive camber (tilting to the side) helps keep recreational vehicles stable. Negative camber (tilting to the side) aids high-performance vehicles in turning. Although some negative and positive camber can be beneficial, it is not recommended to have too much.
- Toe and heel wear: Zoom in on your tire treads. These individual tread blocks are called tire “tread blocks”. When one side of your tire tread appears to be wearing down more quickly than the other, it’s called heel or toe wear. Noise or vibration can be a sign of heel/toe wear.
Your tires and vehicle will last longer if they are balanced and aligned every 6,000 miles.
