When Would I Need To Book A 4 Wheel Alignment?

Mechanics and car manufacturers alike will recommend that you have a 4-wheel alignment once or twice a year to keep your car in its top condition. However, this recommendation is fluid. You could need it done more often and sooner than expected if you drive on particularly rough roads. Minor bumps like potholes and curbs can also knock your wheel alignment out of balance.

There are several tell-tale signs that you may need a wheel alignment:

• You notice uneven wear on your tyres. It will usually look like either the inside or the outside of one or more of your tyres has been worn.
• You can feel feedback. This will feel like ‘pulsing’ through the steering wheel, or through the seat – this is the chassis.
• Your steering wheel is off-centre. You may feel like your steering wheel is pulling either to the left or the right whilst driving in a straight line.
• You feel pulling without steering correction. If you take your hands off the wheel momentarily and feel the car pulls to the left or right, or you need to put extra effort into keeping the car straight, it’s time for a wheel alignment.

Any of these symptoms mean you should get yourself booked in for a wheel alignment. Our garages in Birmingham will be able to use wheel alignment technology to test your wheels and get your car’s alignment back to how it should be, ensuring your safety and driving satisfaction.

Driving in Birmingham

Birmingham is the second largest and most populous UK city after London, a fact which might go some way to explaining why it’s simply stuffed with things to do and see. Six universities keep the place youthful with a vibrant and multi-cultural grassroots art, music and literary scene. Birmingham’s international reputation has been built on its many celebrated cultural institutions. As well as housing the world’s largest pre-Raphaelite collection of artwork, the city is home to the Birmingham Royal Ballet, the Symphony Orchestra, the Repertory Theatre and the Barber Institute of Fine Arts as well a diverse range of other arts, theatre and music venues.

You’ll find high street and designer shops at the Bullring and Mailbox centres, and if vintage chic is more your thing then wander the quirky East Side for some unique finds. Birmingham’s drink and food scene is currently thriving, with exotic flavours catering for all tastes. It also boasts four Michelin-starred restaurants (more than any city in England except London) and street food that’s hard to beat. It may be a tightly populated place but Brummies love their green spaces. As well as the splendid Birmingham Botanical Gardens there are an additional five hundred and seventy-one parks to choose from - more than any other European city.

FAQs

What is Wheel Alignment?

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 with your wheel alignment, you need to book an appointment with a local garage as soon as possible.

Why is Wheel Alignment Important?

Wheel alignment is important for many reasons. It makes your vehicle much more comfortable, as misaligned wheels often contribute to a bumpy, unpleasant driving experience. Correct alignment also helps you save money, both on fuel and tyres.

Poorly aligned wheels mean the engine has to work harder and use more fuel to keep you moving. Most importantly, it degrades your tyres much faster than normal. This leads to more regular replacements.

What Are the Warning Signs of Poor Wheel Alignment?

We recommend that you book an appointment at a garage near you if you notice any of the following symptoms:

• Your car drifting to one side on a straight road
• Vibrations in the steering wheel
• Squeaking noises from the tyres
• Accelerated tyre wear
