Wheel Alignment for your Ford

Wheel alignment, or tracking as it is otherwise known, is a specific check to see that your vehicle’s wheels are set to the optimum position. These specifications are set by manufacturers and are fundamental to your vehicle running efficiently and effectively. If your wheel alignment is incorrect, it can impact many other component parts of your vehicle, with the most common being quicker tyre wear. It can also affect the handling and safety of your vehicle, so is an important check to be made.

Potholes and impact with a kerb are two of the most common causes of changes to wheel alignment, so with regular checks of your vehicle’s wheel alignment, you could prolong the life of your tyres along with improving the steering controls.
