Wheel alignment is all about the angle of the wheels in relation to the chassis. It keeps your car pointing in the right direction and driving straight. It also helps coordinate the tyres, lining them up accurately with the road surface, and spreads the weight of the car evenly. This gives you a smooth, balanced drive.
You may experience problems when you drive over speedbumps too fast, hit a pothole or kerb or are involved in a minor accident. If you suspect that you have an issue, you need to book a wheel alignment appointment with a local garage as soon as possible.
Driving in the North East
With its vibrant major cities of Newcastle, Durham and Sunderland, the North East also has some of the most breathtaking drives in the country. The Northumberland coast is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, harbouring destinations such as the Holy Island of Lindisfarne and Dunstanburgh Castle. The easternmost parts of the North East are also among the driest in the UK, although snow and ice can frequently cause traffic disruption in the winter months.
