Wheel Alignment – Moordown, Bournemouth

Wheel alignment affects far more than how a car feels to drive. Poor alignment can wear tyres unevenly, affect fuel efficiency, and even influence how a car brakes and handles.

Signs your alignment needs checking:

• The car pulling to one side on a flat, straight road
• A steering wheel that isn’t centred when driving straight
• Uneven tyre wear, particularly on one edge more than the other
• Vibration or a feeling of the car not tracking straight

What causes alignment to go out

Alignment can shift due to hitting a pothole, kerbing a wheel, general wear in suspension components, or simply gradual movement over time and mileage. It doesn’t always take a significant impact to knock alignment out of specification.

Why four-wheel alignment matters

Some alignment checks only assess the front wheels, but rear alignment affects handling and tyre wear too. We use four-wheel laser alignment equipment, which checks and adjusts all four wheels relative to each other for a more accurate, complete result.

How alignment affects tyre life

Even slightly incorrect alignment can cause noticeably faster tyre wear, particularly on one edge of the tyre. Correcting alignment can extend tyre life significantly, making it a worthwhile check even without an obvious symptom.

When to have alignment checked:

• After fitting new tyres
• Following any impact with a kerb or pothole
• If you notice uneven tyre wear
• As part of routine suspension or steering work

At FitnFix Auto, we use four-wheel laser alignment to check and correct your car’s alignment accurately, helping protect tyre life and keep your car handling as it should.
