Help Your Tyres Wear More Evenly

If your steering wheel sits off-centre or your tyres are wearing unevenly, wheel position may be part of the problem. Shifting Gears Tyre & Auto provides wheel alignments in Lismore, with equipment to check how the wheels are set relative to the vehicle. We can explain what the measurements mean and whether an adjustment is appropriate.

Alignment concerns often come to light after hitting a pothole, noticing a pull on the road or fitting new tyres. Uneven wear can also have other causes, so it is worth mentioning any tyre or steering symptoms when you book. If suspension components need separate attention, we also supply and install suspension kits, where a compatible setup is suitable.

For an alignment appointment, call 0401 157 405 or book online.

What Wheel Alignment Can Tell You

Wheel alignment concerns geometry, not just steering-wheel position. Look for:

  • Uneven tyre wear: Excess wear along one tyre edge can have several causes, including alignment. We check whether wheel geometry contributes to that wear.
  • Steering position: A steering wheel that no longer sits centred can be a sign that the alignment needs checking. Tell us whether the change was sudden or gradual.
  • Pulling on the road: A vehicle that drifts to one side may have an alignment issue, but tyre condition or road conditions can influence the sensation. We consider this before recommending an adjustment.
  • After other work: New tyres or relevant steering and suspension work can be good times to review alignment. The need for an adjustment depends on measurements and the work involved.

FAQs

Alignment concerns the angles and position of the wheels relative to the vehicle. Balancing addresses weight distribution in a wheel and tyre assembly and is a different procedure.

Alignment, tyre pressure, suspension condition and driving patterns can all influence wear. The pattern should be assessed before assuming one particular cause.

A significant impact can disturb alignment or damage wheel and suspension components. If steering behaviour changes afterward, have the vehicle checked.
