What Does a Wheel Alignment Servicing Involve?
Wheel alignment, also known as wheel tracking, is a maintenance procedure performed on a vehicle’s suspension system to ensure that the wheels are positioned correctly relative to each other and to the vehicle’s frame. Proper wheel alignment is essential for optimal handling, tire wear, and overall vehicle safety.
- The first step in clutch service is to assess the overall condition of the clutch system. This may involve checking for symptoms such as slipping, difficulty in shifting gears, or abnormal noises when engaging the clutch.
- Our mechanic will evaluate the feel and responsiveness of the clutch pedal. A spongy or excessively stiff clutch pedal may indicate issues with the hydraulic system or clutch linkage.
- The clutch disc is examined for signs of wear, such as thinning friction material or damage to the hub or springs. Excessive wear can lead to clutch slippage and may necessitate replacement.
- The pressure plate is inspected for signs of wear, warping, or damage to the diaphragm springs. Worn or damaged pressure plates can result in clutch engagement issues and may need to be replaced.
- The flywheel is examined for wear, scoring, or heat damage. A damaged flywheel can cause clutch chatter, vibration, or uneven clutch engagement and may require resurfacing or replacement.
- The release bearing is inspected for wear or damage. A noisy or rough-feeling release bearing may need to be replaced during clutch service.
- If the vehicle is equipped with a hydraulic clutch system, the master cylinder, slave cylinder, and hydraulic lines are checked for leaks, proper operation, and fluid level.
Wheel alignment is typically performed by trained technicians using specialized equipment.
- The clutch fork and linkage are examined for wear, bending, or misalignment. Damaged clutch forks or linkage can lead to clutch engagement issues and may need to be repaired or replaced.
- If applicable, the pilot bearing or bushing is inspected for wear or damage. A worn pilot bearing can cause clutch noise or vibration and may need to be replaced.
- Based on the inspection findings, worn or damaged clutch components are replaced with new ones to restore proper clutch function and reliability.
- After component replacement, adjustments may be made to ensure proper clutch pedal free play and engagement point.
- A road test is typically performed to verify that the clutch system operates smoothly and that there are no abnormal noises or issues with clutch engagement and disengagement.
The Wheel Alignment service Process
we will find and fix any problems in your vehicle
- The technician will inspect your tires for uneven wear, which can indicate alignment issues.
Using specialized equipment, our technician will measure the current angles of your wheels (camber, toe, and caster).
- Toe: Toe alignment refers to the angle of the wheels relative to the vehicle’s centerline when viewed from above. Proper toe alignment ensures that the wheels are parallel to each other and pointing straight ahead.
- Camber: Camber alignment refers to the angle of the wheels relative to the vertical axis when viewed from the front or rear of the vehicle. Proper camber alignment ensures that the wheels are perpendicular to the road surface, promoting even tire wear.
- Caster: Caster alignment refers to the angle of the steering axis when viewed from the side of the vehicle. Proper caster alignment helps maintain stability and steering control, particularly at high speeds.
- Based on the measurements and the vehicle’s specifications, the technician will adjust the tie rods or other steering components to bring the wheels within the manufacturer’s recommended alignment angles.
- Once adjustments are made, the vehicle is test-driven to ensure that the wheels are aligned correctly and that the vehicle handles properly. This may involve checking for steering pull, vibrations, or abnormal tire wear patterns.
- After the adjustments are made, the technician will re-check the alignment and make any necessary fine-tuning.
Why Is A Wheel Alignment Servicing Important?
A Wheel Alignment is crucial for several reasons:
- Correctly aligned wheels ensure better handling and control of your car, especially during emergencies or on slippery roads.
- Misaligned wheels can cause uneven tire wear, leading to premature tire replacement and increased costs.
- Wheels that are rolling properly minimize friction and resistance, resulting in better fuel economy.
- Proper alignment reduces vibrations and provides a smoother driving experience.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Wheel Alignment Questions
- It’s generally recommended to get a wheel alignment every 12,000 to 24,000 miles, or after hitting a curb, experiencing significant potholes, or noticing uneven tire wear.
- Uneven tire wear, pulling of the car to one side while driving, or a loose or misaligned steering wheel when driving straight.
Misalignment can result from normal wear and tear, driving over potholes or curbs, hitting debris on the road, or suspension/component damage.
The clutch process is crucial for smooth and efficient operation of vehicles with manual transmissions. Proper clutch control is essential for smooth gear changes, preventing unnecessary wear and tear on the clutch components, and ensuring optimal performance and drivability.
