Wheel Alignment FAQs
Do I need 2-wheel or 4-wheel alignment?
Most modern cars benefit from 4-wheel alignment because rear angles influence the thrust line and steering. We’ll measure all four and advise.
How often should I check alignment?
At least annually, after suspension work, or after pothole/kerb impacts. Uneven wear means check ASAP.
Before or after new tyres?
Ideally after fitting new tyres so they start life on correct geometry.
How long does it take?
30–60 minutes in most cases; seized fixings or camber/caster work may add time.
Do you reset the steering angle sensor?
Yes—where applicable we reset the SAS after alignment.
