"Wheel Alignment"
[ "Whatis four wheel alignment?Adjusting theangles of the wheels so that they are perpendicular to the ground andparallel to each other is what we generally call wheel alignment. Itis a key aspect of your vehicle that can drastically affect theoverall performance of your car. A common misconception is aboutwheel alignment and wheel balancing being the same thing.Differencebetween Wheel Alignment and Wheel BalancingWheel alignmentis the correction of angles at which your wheels are to each otherand the car. When the alignment is out, it may cause excessive tyrewear and steering or tracking problems.Wheel balancingis the process of evening out the load on your wheels. Theirregularities of the wheel is corrected through this process toensure smooth and comfortable driving experience. An imbalanced wheelis prone to face irregular tyre wearing and cause discomfort whiledriving as well.Different TyreAnglesThe primaryangles are the basic angle alignment of the wheels relative to eachother and body of the car. These angles are the camber, caster andtoe.These threeparameters are further categorized into front and rear. Namely,front-caster(left and right), front-camber(left and right),front-toe(left and right), rear-caster(left and right)rear-camber(left and right), rear-toe(left and right).The secondaryangles include numerous adjustments, such as SAI (steering axisinclination-left and right),included angle(left and right,toe out onturns (left and right),maximum turns(left and right),toe curvechange,track width difference , wheelbase difference,front rideheight(left and right),rear ride height(left and right ), ,frameangle ,setback(front and rear).Camber;isthe angle of the wheel, measured in degrees, when viewed from thefront of the vehicle.If the top of the wheel is leaning out from thecenter of the car, then the camber is positive,if it's leaning in,then the camber is negative. If the camber is out of adjustment, itwill cause tyre wear on one side of the tyre's treadWhen you turnthe steering wheel, the front wheels respond by turning on a pivotattached to the suspension systemCaster;is the angle ofthis steering pivot, measured in degrees, when viewed from the sideof the vehicle.The;toe;measurementis the difference in the distance between the front of the tyres andthe back of the tyresSAI;is themeasurement in degrees of the steering pivot line when viewed fromthe front of the vehicleSet back;iswhen one front wheel is set further back than the other wheel.There are twomain types of 4-wheel alignments The technician will place aninstrument on all four wheels. In the first type the rear toe andtracking is checked, but all adjustments are made at the frontwheels. This is done on vehicles that do not have adjustments on therear. The second type is a full 4-wheel alignment where theadjustments are first made to true up the rear alignment, then thefront is adjusted. A full 4-wheel alignment will cost more than theother type because there is more work involved.At;Bewdley;carservice our technicians; will provide proper measure to ensurethe alignment and adjusting is perfect. Our technicians will consolewithe the front and real departments and will measure all the anglesof the wheels with certified technology Because the study ofevery measurement of tyres should be perfect during wheel alignment." ]
