Wheel Alignment – Liverpool

At MB Liverpool, we use state-of-the-art 3D camera wheel alignment technology to make sure that your vehicle’s wheels are set precisely to the manufacturer’s specifications.

Accurate wheel alignment is essential for maintaining optimal handling, safety, tyre wear and overall driving comfort.

It’s important not to confuse wheel alignment with wheel balancing. While wheel balancing corrects the weight distribution of the tyre and wheel, wheel alignment adjusts the angles of the wheels (camber, caster, and toe) to ensure that they’re pointing in the correct direction and sitting correctly on the road surface.

Signs That Your Car Needs Wheel Alignment

There are several indicators that your wheels may be out of alignment:

Uneven or rapid tyre wear
Vehicle is pulling to one side
Steering wheel is off-centre when driving straight
Vibrations or poor handling
Tyres squealing during turns

Ignoring these signs can lead to premature tyre wear, reduced fuel efficiency, and increased strain on suspension components, so make sure to get in touch with our team at MB Liverpool if you notice any of them or if you have any concerns at all about the alignment of your car’s wheels.

What are the Benefits of Having Your Wheels Aligned?

Improved handling and steering response
Even tyre wear, which will extend tyre life
Better fuel efficiency
Enhanced safety and driving stability
Reduced wear on suspension and steering parts

What is Wheel Alignment?

When your car rolls out of the factory, the wheels point almost completely straight forward (toe) and nearly straight up and down (camber), at angles specified by the manufacturer’s engineers. There is also the caster angle. These are chosen for their effects on handling, efficiency, and tyre wear. Over time, as a result of hitting curbs, rocks, potholes, etc., the wheels can go out of alignment. In a wheel alignment service at MB Liverpool, we reset your wheels’ alignment to the angles specified by the manufacturer, helping to restore your vehicle’s optimum performance.

Camber

This how perpendicular your wheels are to the ground. A vehicle with negative camber has the tops of the wheels pointing slightly in towards the centre line, giving better stability round corners, but too much negative camber can lead to increased tyre wear and poorer handling on straight roads.

Caster

This is how far forward of or behind the axle your car’s wheels touch the ground. Most cars have positive caster, where the wheel sits on the ground a bit ahead of the axle’s position. This improves stability and handling, but too much caster can make the steering feel slow and heavy.

Toe

This what you might think of as the direction your wheels are pointing in. Most vehicles are slightly toed inwards for stability, but too much will slow you down.
