Key benefits of correct wheel alignment
IMPROVED
FUEL ECONOMY
Incorrect wheel alignment will
increase the rolling resistance
of a vehicle, since some 30% of
its fuel is used to overcome tyre
rolling resistance, and hence any
small degree of misalignment
will substantially increase fuel
consumption. A saving of more
than 5% is commonly achieved
through correct wheel alignment.
INCREASE IN TYRE
LIFE
Incorrect wheel alignment has
a detrimental effect on the life
of tyres – causing them to wear
unevenly and prematurely and
consequently affecting the
handling characteristics of your
vehicle. Correct wheel alignment
will rectify this and can increase
tyre life by over 20%.
REDUCTION IN CO
2
EMISSIONS
There is growing pressure
on governments, industry
and transport to reduce CO
2
emissions: this has given rise to
more efficient engines, now up
to Euro VI. However, if wheels
are not correctly aligned, their
efficiency is compromised, and
the saving in fuel and potential
for reduced CO
2
emissions are
forfeited. Furthermore most CO
2
reduction strategies involve
additional costs, whereas correct
wheel alignment reduces harmful
emissions in a self-funding
manner.
GREATER STEERING
SAFETY & CONTROL
If wheels are misaligned, that
can cause a vehicle to veer left
or right, demanding corrective
steering by the driver and
putting him and his rig under
constant, unnecessary strain.
Uneven tyres neither adhere
well to the road surface nor
handle efficiently. What is more,
incorrect wheel alignment can
put great stress on steering
joints, wheel bearings and other
steering components, reducing
their effective lifespan.
