Wheel Alignment & Geometry Tracking
Misaligned wheels cause uneven tyre wear, poor handling, increased fuel consumption, and a vehicle that pulls to one side. Potholes, kerb strikes, and worn suspension components are the most common causes — and Northumberland's roads provide plenty of opportunities for all three.
At Bedlington MOT and Service Centre, we use laser alignment equipment to measure and adjust your vehicle's wheel geometry to manufacturer specifications. This covers front and rear axles on cars, vans, and light commercial vehicles.
Four-wheel laser alignment
Full geometry check and adjustment on both axles using laser-guided equipment for precise results.
Toe adjustment
Corrects wheels pointing inward (toe-in) or outward (toe-out) — the most common cause of rapid inner or outer tyre edge wear.
Camber correction
Adjusts the vertical tilt of the wheel. Excessive camber causes one-sided tyre wear and affects handling stability.
Caster adjustment
Sets the steering axis angle for proper self-centring and straight-line stability at speed.
We check all adjustable angles against your vehicle manufacturer's specifications. If a suspension component is worn or damaged and preventing correct alignment, we will identify it and advise on replacement before adjusting.
When to Get Your Tracking Checked
We recommend a wheel alignment check in any of these situations:
After pothole or kerb impact
Even a single hard hit can knock the geometry out. Bedlington and the surrounding Northumberland roads are particularly prone to potholes, especially after winter.
When fitting new tyres
Protect your new tyres from premature wear by ensuring the alignment is correct before you drive away.
After suspension work
Replacing springs, shock absorbers, track rods, or ball joints changes the geometry and requires realignment.
Uneven tyre wear or pulling
If you notice the steering pulling to one side or tyres wearing unevenly, misalignment is the most likely cause.
Regular alignment checks save money in the long run by extending tyre life and improving fuel efficiency. A set of tyres on a misaligned vehicle can wear out thousands of miles early.
