We all know that wheels get damaged with time and there could be a variety of causes for that like bumpy rough roads and potholes which leads to misalignment. And misaligned tyres are more likely to premature wear and tear. Moreover, a lack of wheel alignment could prove deadly and lead to potential safety jeopardy. Hence, your vehicle’s wheels need constant attention to ensure proper wheel alignment.
What Is Wheel Alignment?
Wheel alignment is an adjustment done to a vehicle’s suspension- the system that connects your vehicle to its wheels. Proper wheel alignment is about adjusting the angles of the tyres, which determines their contact with the road.
At Plumpton autos, we specialize in wheel alignment wherein the team of our specialists use the latest technology to check and fix the faulty alignment. When the wheels of your car are properly aligned, the durability of the wheels increases which leads to a smooth and safe drive and also contributes to a major saving on fuel.
Why Do You Need Wheel Alignment?
Now, the question comes when do you need a wheel alignment? Well, as soon as you start noticing the signs of misaligned wheels like feeling that your vehicle is pulled to one side of the road or the steering wheel is shuddering or vibrating. Going for wheel alignment services will provide safe vehicle control with a smooth and comfortable ride free of vibration or pulling. Moreover, it extends the tyre’s mileage.
So, if you don’t want to experience irregular tyre wear or a shuddering steering wheel, go for an alignment check. Ignoring these signs can be more expensive, reduce the life of tyres, and can even make the driver assist systems to malfunction. We recommend our customers to go for a wheel alignment every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. At Plumpton autos, we use state-of-the-art equipment and the latest technology for wheel alignment.
Benefits of Wheel Alignment
You invest your hard-earned money to buy your dream car. Would you want to let it go to waste? No, right? Then, get a wheel alignment done whenever you start seeing the signs as misaligned tyres create dangerous driving conditions and put unnecessary wear on the tyres.
Proper wheel alignment helps maximise fuel economy as it has been noticed that vehicles with misaligned wheels can have a decrease in fuel efficiency by up to 7%.
It helps you stop the vehicle safely on wet roads/surfaces. This is because the amount of tread on your tyres has a direct impact on the stopping of your vehicle in such conditions.
