Wheel Alignment<\/h1>\n

Wheel alignment, sometimes referred to as tracking, is part of standard vehicle\u00a0maintenance that consists of adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are set to the manufacturers\u00a0specification. If wheel alignment is off, tyre life is shortened while car and mileage performance also decrease.<\/p>\n

At Clarkes Tyres, we offer computerised\u00a04 wheel laser alignment\u00a0which ensures your vehicles wheel alignment is the same as the day it left the showroom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Types of Wheel Alignment<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Caster<\/strong><\/p>\n

Definition of Caster is the angle created by steering axis and vertical line to the ground when viewed from the side. Caster is positive if the axis is angled backward, and negative if forward. Typically, positive caster will make the vehicle more stable at high speeds.<\/p>\n

Camber<\/strong><\/p>\n

Definition of Camber is the angle created by steering axis and vertical line to the ground when viewed from the front or rear. If the top of the tire is farther out than the bottom (that is, away from the axle), it is called\u00a0positive camber; if the bottom of the tire is farther out than the top, it is called\u00a0negative camber; if the tire stands perfectly vertical, it is called neutral camber.<\/p>\n

With the development of suspension and vehicle technology, most vehicles today have negative camber, which increases outer tire\u2019s contact area and provides stable cornering performance.<\/p>\n

Toe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Definition of Toe is the angle created by tire direction and vehicle direction when viewed from the upper. If the tire\u2019s front is inward, it\u2019s called Toe-in; if outward, called Toe-out. Too much toe-out usually causes fast wear on tire\u2019s inner surface of tread. And Too much toe-in causes fast wear on outer surface of tread in reverse. Both cases results in worse riding comfort and less fuel efficiency.<\/p>\n
