Wheel Allignment and Balancing
A wheel alignment or tyre balance helps your tyres perform correctly, improve overall handling, improve fuel mileage, prevent issues with steering and help them last longer.
Correct alignment is critical for safe handling and long tyre life. While many older cars only need front wheels aligned, many newer cars also need rear wheels aligned. You should always have a wheel alignment completed when fitting new tyres and approximately every 10,000km to get the longest life from your tyre investment. Ollington Automotive Services provides wheel alignments in Smithton.
Alignment is one of the key maintenance factors in getting the most wear and performance from your tyres. Wheel alignment provides:
- Safe, predictable vehicle control
- A smooth and comfortable ride free of pulling or vibration
- Improved fuel mileage
Today's modern suspensions require a precise four-wheel alignment that can only be achieved through a modern alignment system. This applies to front, rear and all wheel drive vehicles.
Our new wheel alignment machine has recently been installed and can provide the latest computerised alignments and specifications to match your vehicle. Kyle is our wheel alignment specialist with over 20 years’ experience.
A properly balanced wheel will last longer, improve handling, increase fuel efficiency and reduce wear on other parts of your vehicle such as shock absorbers, struts and steering.
If your wheels are not balanced properly it can affect the overall performance and feel of your car.
You Might Need a Wheel Balance or Alignment When:
- Your steering wheel or car vibrates at high speed.
- Your tyres are wearing out unevenly
- You have new tyres
- You rotate your tyres
- Your tyres have had some rough treatment such as potholes or extremely rough roads.
- Your vehicle “pulls” in the steering
