Wheel Alignment
Why do we need a wheel alignment? Simple really, to save us on unnecessary tyre wear and in the long run, money. If you have ever hit a curb or driven through a pot hole, chances are you have thrown your steering out of alignment. This usually results in unusual tread wear on your new set of tyres.
To complete a thorough wheel alignment there are 3 major adjustments that need to be made. The Caster, Camber and Toe angles. Other Wheel Alignment measurements that help with precision steering are:
- The Steering Axis Inclination, (SAI)
- The Included Angle
- The Scrub Radius
- The Riding Height
- The Set Back
- The Thrust Angle
- The Alignment Ranges
- The Steering Centre
- Toe out on Turns
- Wheel Offset
