Tired of uneven tyre wear and steering issues? Get precise wheel alignment in Perth to extend
tyre life, improve safety, and enhance your driving comfort.
Wheel alignment is a part of automobile maintenance and service that ensures your car’s wheels are positioned correctly according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Correct alignment helps extend tyre life, ensures safe handling, improves fuel efficiency, and enhance the overall driving experience. Misaligned wheels, on the other hand, can cause uneven tyre wear, compromised handling, and reduced safety on the road. So, always schedule a wheel alignment when installing
new tyres and roughly every 10,000 km to extend the lifespan of your tyre investment.
At Motor Mate, our expert auto mechanics in Perth provide precise wheel alignment to make sure your vehicle performs ideally. We use advanced equipment and trusted techniques to get your vehicle back on track. Our goal is to provide you with a smooth, safe, and efficient ride on every journey.
Let’s find out the common types of wheel alignment service to run your car smoothly and safely on the road.
A front-end alignment is the most basic type of alignment service that focuses only on the front wheels and axle. This type of alignment adjusts the angle of the front tyres, primarily the toe angle which is whether your front tyres are pointing slightly inwards or outwards. It’s sometimes called a “toe-in” or “toe and go” alignment. Although it may sound like a quick fix, front-end alignments are typically only for older vehicles with a solid rear axle. For the majority of modern cars, this choice doesn't provide a total or precise result. That is why at Motor Mate WA, we usually suggest a more comprehensive alignment, such as a thrust or four-wheel alignment, for enhanced safety and tyre performance.
A thrust alignment aligns your car's rear wheels with the front wheels, so all four wheels are headed in the same direction. It's best for cars with a solid rear axle. Thrust alignment provides you with improved control, increased fuel economy, and more uniform tyre wear. It's particularly helpful if your car has suffered a bump to the suspension or has been involved in a minor accident; such as a bump over a kerb or pothole. By having the wheels properly aligned, your vehicle remains steady on the road, and your tyres will continue to wear better. This type of alignment is better than the standard front-end option and offers more balanced results.
Four-wheel alignment is the most thorough and accurate form of alignment, best used on cars with independent rear suspensions, such as most modern front-wheel drive vehicles and all-wheel drives. This alignment not only checks and adjusts the front and rear wheels but also goes further to correct the rear axle angles to the manufacturer's specifications. If you desire optimal handling, tyre life, fuel efficiency, and safety, this is the one for you. It demands advanced equipment and professional precision, which our team at Motor Mate WA are more than capable of delivering.
