At your local Roshan Autoparts store, we believe in one of the most important considerations to vehicle maintenance to ensure your wheels are correctly aligned. Wheel alignment is the science of precisely measuring and then positioning the wheels on your car to ensure the least amount of wear to your tyres. When correctly set it will significantly extend the life of your tyres, your car also should handle better, be safer to drive and enjoy greater fuel economy.
Wheel Alignment is necessary in number of different scenarios:
» |
The need for wheel alignment occurs when your steering wheel isn't straight or your car pulls to either side or wanders on straight roads. |
» |
After an encounter with a particularly nasty pothole or kerb. |

Roshan Autoparts recommends out customers wheel alignment twice a year to ensure your vehicle's safety, to improve handling and to help maximize the life of your tyres. |

When you are replacing your tyres. |
The suspension system of today’s front and rear wheel drive vehicles requires precise wheel alignments that can only be delivered by state-of-the-art alignment systems. There is also more variety on the road these days with vehicles having stability controls or dynamic stability controls, active stability management or SAS (Steering Angle Sensors). And because every vehicle manufacturer is unique, it requires different methods of adjustment. Your Roshan Autoparts technicians are fully qualified and trained to ensure you get the most precise wheel alignment available by using the latest, state-of-the-art aligning equipment.
Camber measurement is essential part in wheel alignment, it determines whether or not your wheels lean in, out or sit straight up in a vertical position. Incorrect camber makes your car feel as if the steering is pulling to either side. Correct camber ensures the right amount of tyre tread is in contact with the road for safer turning, braking and reduce tread wear. Every vehicle has a different combination of camber, castor and toe measurements. These must be correctly measured, interpreted and adjusted by an expert.
Balancing
One of the easiest ways to tell when something is not right with your tyres is from behind the wheel. Most of us would have encountered steering wheel wobble or vibration when we’re driving at high speeds, and this can mean that a wheel is out of balance.
