Large vehicles like the Ram, Chevrolet Silverado, Landcruiser's 200, 300, and 70 series, the Ford Ranger, Ranger Raptor, F150, F250 and the SsangYong Musso require larger wheel alignment equipment. Associated Tyre and Wheel is equipped to align wheels on even the biggest yank tanks.
Wheel alignment often simply referred to as 'alignment' is a standard vehicle maintenance procedure that ensures the tyres of a vehicle are set to the manufacturer's precise specifications. At its core it's about adjusting the angles of the wheels so they are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground.
This is the inward or outward tilt of the tyre when viewed from the front of the vehicle. A negative camber means the top of the tyre is tilting inward while a positive camber means it's tilting outward. Incorrect camber can lead to wear on one side of the tyre.
This refers to the extent to which tyres turn inward or outward when viewed from a bird's eye perspective. Think of it as looking down at your feet and angling your toes inward (pigeon-toed) or outward (duck-footed). Incorrect toe alignment can cause rapid wear at the edge of the tyres.
This is a bit more complicated. It's the forward or backward tilt of the steering axis when viewed from the side of the vehicle. The steering axis is a line drawn through the upper and lower ball joints of the wheel. A positive caster ensures stability and better steering especially at high speeds.
If any of these angles are off even slightly, it can affect tyre wear, fuel efficiency and vehicle handling. Regular wheel alignment checks ensure that the vehicle handles correctly the tyres wear evenly and the car drives straight without pulling to one side. Given the challenges different terrains present and the varied weight and size of vehicles maintaining the right alignment is pivotal for both safety and performance.
Perth boasts a mix of urban roads, coastal paths and outback tracks. Each of these surfaces poses distinct challenges to vehicles especially the large ones. While city roads might be smoother they often come with their set of humps potholes or debris, resulting in uneven tyre wear. On the other hand coastal and outback tracks can present rougher terrains. A vehicle's alignment ensures that its tyres face minimal stress reducing wear and tear and providing a uniform wear pattern, leading to a prolonged tyre lifespan.
Western Australia's expansive geography means longer drives are common. For large vehicles which tend to have higher fuel consumption rates the importance of wheel alignment can't be stressed enough. Misaligned wheels create uneven tyre wear and increased rolling resistance. This means the engine has to work harder, burning more fuel in the process. Regular wheel alignments can optimise wheel position, reducing resistance and ensuring that every drop of fuel is used efficiently.
A vehicle's stability and response time are greatly influenced by its wheel alignment. For large vehicles which have a higher centre of gravity any misalignment can make them prone to drifting or reduced steering response. This becomes particularly significant when navigating Perth's multifaceted road conditions where sudden manoeuvres might be needed. Ensuring wheels are aligned properly enhances vehicle control, steering accuracy and overall driving safety.
Wheel alignment methods have witnessed substantial advancements over the years. What used to be a manual task relying on basic tools has now transitioned into a sophisticated process. Modern alignment practices leverage computerised systems that offer real-time feedback. These systems use high-definition cameras and lasers providing technicians with accurate data on wheel positions. This ensures that alignment corrections are made with pinpoint accuracy suiting the specific requirements of each vehicle.
