  1. Importance of Wheel Alignment and Tire Balancing

  2. Wheel Alignment increases the life of new tires. During alignment, steering and suspension gets adjusted to make sure that the tires don't wear out in the long run.

  3. Three types of wheel alignment angles are, 1.Camber 2.Toe 3.Caster

  4. The camber angle measures whether the top of the tire is tilting outward or inward due to worn ball joints or severely worn out wheel bearings. The toe angle affects the car's tires and steering wheel. If the angle is in or out too far, your tires will begin to wear out quickly and the steering wheel will look crooked. The caster angle is what is responsible for the steering wheel returning to its original position when you make a turn.

  5. Tire balancing need to be done for new tires. This process is performed to ensure that all the tires balance with wheel weights to facilitate smooth rolling of the tire. When there's an imbalance, the steering wheel will rock back and forth as you drive especially when you reach a certain speed.

  6. For tire balancing, technicians mount it on a rim and use a machine that is designed to spin the tires and check the location of imbalance and how severe it is. Once the problem is fixed, the technician will spin the tires again using the machine to ensure the tires are properly balanced.

  7. Tire imbalance can occur when the rubber that is used in making it wears off overtime. That is why it is important to check your tires for imbalance every 6 months and ensure they are rebalanced. Tire imbalance can cause severe accidents especially when the car is driven at fast.
