Wheel Misalignment
Wheel misalignment will affect the handling and safety of your vehicle and also lead to uneven tyre wear.
You will almost certainly not detect it, but a small amount of misalignment (1mm) means your tyre is being forced sideways approximately 1 metre every mile you travel. This is why it is essential to have the tracking regularly checked.

Before your wheel alignment check takes place we will also:
- Check tyre pressures, sizes and condition
- Check for wheel damage
- Check for suspension damage
- Check for worn suspension joints
- Check wheel bearing play
- Check calibration of equipment
- Check manufacturer’s data
- Check for body distortion / road test
- Check radius plates / slip plates
- Check ride heights / loading
Could your wheels be misaligned?
It is recommended that a car’s wheels be aligned every 10,000 miles or at least once a year, depending on how the vehicle is driven. Having your car wheels aligned at Colchester Tyre & Exhaust Centre will have many benefits to your overall driving experience and annual expenditure, including:
- Gain a more secure handling and grip of your car by eliminating drifts to the left/right.
- Add thousands of extra miles to your tyre life through a reduction of tyre wear and friction.
- Improved fuel economy due to the decreased tyre resistance that results from misaligned tyres.
