Wheel Alignment – Gosport

Wheel alignment, sometimes called tracking, refers to the angles at which your tyres meet the road. When those angles drift from the manufacturer’s specification, the effects are felt across tyre wear, fuel efficiency, and how the car handles. It’s a straightforward adjustment with a measurable impact.

At RCJ Automotive, wheel alignment is one of the services we’re particularly well known for. We use Absolute Alignment equipment, which provides four-wheel alignment measurement and adjustment with a level of accuracy that makes a genuine difference to the result.

Signs Your Alignment May Need Checking

Vehicle pulling to one side on a straight, level road
Steering wheel sitting off-centre when driving straight
Uneven or rapid tyre wear, particularly on the inner or outer edges
Loose, vague, or imprecise steering feel
Increased fuel consumption without another obvious cause

Four-Wheel Alignment

A full four-wheel alignment check measures and adjusts the angles of all four wheels relative to each other and to the vehicle’s centreline. This is more comprehensive than a basic front tracking adjustment and produces more accurate, longer-lasting results which is particularly important on vehicles with independent rear suspension.

When Should Alignment Be Checked?

After hitting a significant pothole or kerb
Following suspension or steering work
When new tyres are fitted
If you notice any of the symptoms listed above
As part of a general vehicle health check

Correct alignment extends tyre life, reduces fuel consumption, and makes your car more pleasant and predictable to drive. For wheel alignment in Gosport, book in with the team at RCJ Automotive.
