    This document provides expert tips on wheel alignment and interpreting tire wear patterns. It states that regular wheel alignments are important to prevent premature wear and ensure good road handling. Failure to align wheels after replacing steering or suspension parts can cause pulling and uneven tire wear over time. The document then provides examples of common tire wear patterns and their likely causes, such as incorrect toe setting, excessive camber, and under/overinflated tires. It recommends addressing alignment issues and inspecting suspension components to prevent further issues.

    Correct wheel alignment saves money


    and makes happy customers!

    Wheel alignment consists of adjusting the


    angles of the wheels so that they are set to
    the car maker’s specification. The purpose of
    these adjustments is to stop the vehicle pulling
    to one side which causes wear on the tyres and
    the steering & suspension parts thus ensuring
    an excellent road holding. All new vehicles leave
    the factory with their alignment checked and
    adjusted.

    Challenge
    Any severe driving incidents and with every replacement of steering and suspension components
    justifies a wheel alignment, even if the parts are not adjustable. Failure to do this may result in the camber and
    toe specifications drifting outside the manufacturer’s limit. This may lead to the vehicle pulling and premature wear
    of the tyre and the suspension parts.

    At first drivers may not notice these defects but after some time of usage it can start causing uneven tyre wear
    and a pull/drifting to the left or right. Tyre wear leads to frequent replacement of tyres and pull/drifting leads to
    premature wear of the suspension parts all of which add unnecessary cost for the owner. Vehicle pulling causes
    irritation and/or fatigue whilst driving the car and even incorrect inflation and rotation of the tyres can have an
    effect on fuel consumption.

    Easy Solutions
    Make sure a full wheel alignment procedure is carried out accurately and to the correct technical standards
    once you have carried out the replacements of steering and suspension parts.

    PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

    FEATHERING INCORRECT TOE

    Correct the toe setting and execute a wheel alignment.


    Check and replace if needed the bushings in the front
    suspension system to avoid reoccurrence.
    Thin inner or outer edge of the tyre is worn out.
    Each tread rib has a rounded edge on one side
    and a sharp edge on the other side.

    ONE SIDE WEAR EXCESSIVE CAMBER

    Execute a wheel alignment.


    To avoid reoccurrence check the shock absorbers, ball joints
    and control arm bushings if they are not worn out.
    Replace the worn out parts.
    The inner or outer ribs of the tyre wear out faster
    than the rest of the tyre.

    CENTRE WEAR THE TYRES ARE


    OVERINFLATED

    Check the pressure of the tyres.


    Remove air if the tyres are overinflated.

    Ribs gone from centre of the tyre.

    EDGE WEAR THE TYRES ARE


    UNDERINFLATED
    Check the pressure of the tyres. Add air if the tyres are
    underinflated.
    To avoid reoccurrence check if no steering component is bent
    or worn out.
    Execute a wheel alignment.
    Ribs gone from both sides of the tyre.

    CUP WEAR WORN OUT OR


    BENT SUSPENSION PARTS

    Check and replace the steering & suspension parts.


    Execute a wheel alignment.

    Cupped or scalloped dips appearing around


    the edge of the tread on one side or the other.
