UNDERSTANDING WHEEL ALIGNMENT
What Is Laser Wheel Alignment?
Wheel alignment involves checking and adjusting the angles of your vehicle’s wheels so they meet the manufacturer’s specifications. Correct alignment helps your tyres make appropriate contact with the road and supports predictable steering and handling.
Laser wheel alignment uses specialist measuring equipment to assess wheel positioning and identify alignment discrepancies. Where adjustments are needed, these can help correct problems such as uneven tyre wear and a steering wheel that sits off-centre.
Wheel alignment is different from wheel balancing. Alignment concerns the direction and angles of the wheels, while balancing addresses uneven weight distribution in a wheel and tyre assembly.
ALIGNMENT CHECKS
What Does Wheel Alignment Check?
Wheel alignment measurements help establish whether the wheels are positioned correctly. Depending on your vehicle and the equipment used, the relevant alignment angles may include the following.
Toe-In and Toe-Out
This measures whether the wheels point slightly towards or away from each other when viewed from above. Incorrect toe settings can contribute to uneven tyre wear and handling problems.
Camber
Camber describes the inward or outward tilt of a wheel when viewed from the front of the vehicle. Incorrect camber can affect tyre contact and contribute to uneven wear.
Caster
Caster is the angle of the steering pivot when viewed from the side. It can influence steering stability and how the steering wheel returns after a turn.
Setback and Wheel Position
Setback describes the relative fore-and-aft position of one front wheel compared with the other. Measurements can help identify alignment differences that require further investigation.
WHEN TO CHECK YOUR ALIGNMENT
Signs Your Car Needs Wheel Alignment
Wheel alignment can change after hitting a pothole or kerb, or following certain suspension and steering repairs. Look out for these common warning signs.
- Uneven tyre wear: one edge of a tyre wears faster than the other.
- Steering wheel off-centre: the wheel does not sit straight when driving on a level road.
- Vehicle pulling to one side: the car tends to drift left or right under normal driving conditions.
- Unusual steering feel: the steering may feel less stable or behave differently than usual.
- Recent impact: you have hit a pothole or kerb hard enough to suspect a change in alignment.
- After suspension repairs: alignment may need checking after relevant steering or suspension components have been replaced.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Wheel Alignment
How much does laser wheel alignment cost in High Wycombe?
At UK MOT Centre, front wheel alignment costs £45 and alignment for all four wheels costs £90. Call 01494 449722 if you would like to discuss your vehicle before booking.
What is the difference between front and four-wheel alignment?
Front wheel alignment focuses on the front wheels. Four-wheel alignment checks the alignment of all four wheels, where supported by the vehicle and its adjustment specifications. The appropriate service depends on your vehicle and its requirements.
How do I know if my wheels are out of alignment?
Common signs include uneven tyre wear, a steering wheel that sits off-centre and the vehicle pulling to one side. These symptoms can have other causes, so an inspection is recommended.
Can wheel alignment help reduce uneven tyre wear?
Correcting alignment that is outside the manufacturer’s specifications can help reduce alignment-related uneven tyre wear. Tyre pressure, tyre condition, suspension faults and driving conditions can also affect tyre wear.
When should I get my wheel alignment checked?
Consider having it checked if you notice steering changes or uneven tyre wear, after a significant pothole or kerb impact, or following relevant steering and suspension repairs.
Is wheel alignment the same as wheel balancing?
No. Wheel alignment concerns the angles and direction of the wheels. Wheel balancing corrects uneven weight distribution in the wheel and tyre assembly, which can contribute to vibration.
