Wheel Alignment / Tracking – FAQs
Wheel alignment / tracking is the process of setting your vehicle’s wheels to the correct angles, based on the manufacturer’s specifications. This ensures all four wheels point in the right direction and sit correctly on the road, improving handling, tyre wear and fuel economy.
Yes. In everyday garage terms, “tracking” is another word for wheel alignment. Both refer to checking and adjusting the angles of the wheels, so they line up correctly.
Common signs that your wheel alignment / tracking is out include:
- The vehicle pulling to one side
- A steering wheel that is off-centre when you are driving straight
- Uneven tyre wear on the inner or outer edges
- Squealing tyres or a vague, wandering feel at speed
If you notice any of these, it is worth booking a wheel alignment / tracking check.
There is no fixed mileage, but as a guide you should consider a check:
- At least once a year,
- Any time you hit a kerb or pothole hard,
- After suspension or steering work,
- Whenever you have new tyres fitted.
Regular checks help protect your tyres and keep your car or van driving as it should.
It is a very good idea. New tyres will last longer and wear more evenly if the wheel alignment / tracking is correct. Many drivers choose to have an alignment check straight after fitting new tyres to protect their investment.
For most cars and vans, a wheel alignment / tracking check and adjustment typically takes around 30–60 minutes, depending on the vehicle and how far out the settings are. We can give you a better idea once we see your car or van.
Yes. When the wheels are correctly aligned, there is less drag and rolling resistance. This can help improve fuel economy, especially for vehicles that cover a lot of miles, such as work vans and commuters.
