More about wheel alignment Wheel alignment focuses on setting camber, caster and toe angles so your tyres meet the road correctly. Poor alignment can cause uneven tyre wear, pulling to one side and a vague steering feel. Correct settings support safer braking, better fuel efficiency and a more settled drive at speed. Regular checks are particularly important after pothole impacts, suspension repairs or tyre changes.
