Callinafercy Motors are Ireland's premier wheel alignment and steering wheel geometry specialists. So what is wheel alignment and why is it important?
In its most basic form, a wheel alignment consists of adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. The purpose of these adjustments is maximum tire life and a vehicle that tracks straight and true when driving along a straight and level road. Normal wear and road conditions can take their toll on your car's steering and suspension systems, possibly throwing the alignment setting out of specification.
Ball joints, tie rods, steering arms, bushings and other suspension parts all wear gradually over time. Springs will gradually sag and age as miles accumulate. All of these will affect alignment angles and adjustments will need to be made or components need to be replaced to restore optimum handling.
