What wheel alignment includes
What we can adjust depends on the vehicle and the condition of its steering and suspension.
Condition check
We check the tyres, steering and suspension for anything that could affect the alignment.
Alignment measured
We measure toe, camber and caster and compare them with the manufacturer's specifications.
Adjustments made
Adjustable settings are set to spec where the vehicle allows, and the steering wheel is centred.
Results explained
We go through the results and any worn, damaged or seized parts that need attention.
Signs an alignment check may be needed
These often point to alignment, but tyres, pressures or suspension can cause them too.
The vehicle pulls or drifts
The car drifts to one side on a flat road and you keep correcting the steering.
The steering wheel sits off-centre
The steering wheel isn't straight when you're driving straight.
Tyres are wearing unevenly
The inner or outer edge of a tyre is wearing faster than the rest.
Steering feels different
The car feels less settled or responsive than usual.
A wheel hit a kerb or pothole
A hard knock can throw out the alignment or cause damage.
Tyres or suspension were replaced
New tyres or recent steering or suspension work are a good time to check.
Benefits of wheel alignment
Correct alignment keeps your tyres flat on the road. It can't undo existing wear, and not every steering problem is caused by alignment.
More consistent steering
Correct wheel angles help the car drive straight and steer predictably.
More even tyre wear
Stops bad wheel angles wearing out one edge of the tyre faster than the rest.

If alignment isn't the whole answer, we'll tell you what tyres, steering or suspension work is needed.
Alignment, balancing and rotation
Each one fixes a different problem. What you're noticing tells you where to start.
Wheel balancing
Evens out the weight of each wheel and tyre to stop vibration at road speed.
Explore wheel balancingWheel rotation
Swaps tyres between positions so they wear evenly, where the tyres and fitment allow.

Wheel alignment questions
Pricing, symptoms and visiting Hallam Tyres & Wheels.
What is wheel alignment?
Wheel alignment measures the angles of your wheels and adjusts them to the manufacturer's specifications, so the car steers straight and the tyres sit flat on the road.
How much does wheel alignment cost?
$80 for passenger cars and $100 for 4WDs. Any tyre, steering or suspension work is extra, and we'll discuss it with you first.
What are the common signs of misalignment?
Pulling or drifting on a flat road, an off-centre steering wheel, uneven wear on the inner or outer edge of the tyres, and steering that feels different. Other problems can cause these too, so we check the car first.
Is alignment the same as wheel balancing?
No. Alignment adjusts wheel angles. Balancing evens out the weight of each wheel and tyre to stop vibration at road speed.
Do new tyres need a wheel alignment?
Not always, but it is a good time to check, especially if your old tyres wore unevenly or the steering feels different.
Can alignment fix existing uneven tyre wear?
No. It can't undo wear that has already happened, but it stops the same wear from continuing.
How long does wheel alignment take?
It depends on the vehicle, the adjustments needed and how busy the workshop is. Call or text for an estimate.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Walk-ins are welcome during opening hours. Call or text ahead to check availability.
Can worn suspension parts prevent alignment?
Yes. Worn, loose, damaged or seized steering and suspension parts can stop an accurate adjustment. We'll tell you if they need fixing first.
Do you align modified or lowered vehicles?
Modified or lowered vehicles can have different adjustment ranges or clearance needs. Call first so we can check.
