Wheel alignment or tracking is an essential part of maintaining your vehicle. Misaligned wheels can cause uneven and rapid tyre wear and could ultimately effect the handling and safety of a vehicle. Misalignment of the wheels can also result in poor fuel economy as the vehicle will need to work harder to drive along in a straight line which is not only bad for your wallet but also the environment.
