3D 4-Wheel Alignment & Tracking
Is your car pulling to one side or are your tyres wearing out too fast? Proper wheel alignment (often called tracking) is essential for road safety, vehicle handling, and extending the life of your tyres. At Abacus Auto Services, we use the latest technology to ensure your vehicle is aligned perfectly to manufacturer specifications.
Signs Your Vehicle Needs Tracking Adjusted
- Uneven Tyre Wear: Noticeable "balding" on the inside or outside edges of your tyres.
- Pulling: The vehicle drifts to the left or right when driving on a straight road.
- Off-Centre Steering Wheel: Your steering wheel is crooked when driving straight.
- Steering Vibration: A "shaking" sensation through the wheel.
Why is Wheel Alignment Important?
Incorrect alignment is often caused by hitting potholes, curbs, or simply through general wear and tear of suspension components. Misaligned wheels can lead to:
- Rapid Tyre Wear: One of the most common causes of premature tyre failure.
- Increased Fuel Consumption: Misaligned wheels create more rolling resistance.
- Poor Handling: Your car may feel unstable at high speeds.
- Suspension Stress: Unnecessary strain on steering and suspension parts.
State-of-the-Art 3D Laser Technology
At Abacus Auto Services, we have invested in state-of-the-art 3D 4-wheel alignment equipment. Our system is Bluetooth-integrated and incredibly accurate, providing a full digital map of your vehicle's geometry.
While many garages only offer basic front-end tracking, our 3D 4-wheel alignment checks all four wheels. With quality tyres often costing £150 or more, a small investment in tracking can save you a fortune in unnecessary tyre replacements.
