Axle regulation / wheel alignment

Wheel alignment is an essential service that keeps your car’s handling stable and safe and helps your tyres last longer. If the car travels straight but the steering wheel sits at an angle, or if the car constantly pulls to one side, that is a sign of incorrect wheel geometry. Carstop workshops carry out wheel alignment with modern, precise equipment that detects even the smallest asymmetry between the wheels.

Carstop workshops include the following among their maintenance services

Check of the chassis and steering system
Digital measurement of the wheels
Setting the axles to specification
Straightening the steering wheel

How to recognise when you should bring your car in for a check

The main warning signs while driving
You should book a wheel alignment immediately if you notice any of the following symptoms: the car drifts to the side on a straight road, the steering wheel sits at an angle when driving straight, the steering feels overly "sensitive", the car vibrates oddly or constantly "hunts" for its line on the road. It is also a warning sign if the steering wheel is slow to return to centre when coming out of a bend.
Uneven tyre wear
If the inner or outer edge of a tyre wears visibly faster than the rest of the tread, the wheel geometry is incorrect. Wheel alignment helps avoid uneven tyre wear and saves you money on constantly buying new tyres.
Recent replacement of chassis components
Wheel alignment is required after replacing any chassis or steering component (for example new shock absorbers, bushings or track rod ends). Once new parts are fitted, the original position of the wheels has changed, which makes alignment mandatory.

How often should wheel alignment be carried out?
We recommend having the chassis checked and the wheels aligned at least once a year. Even if you cannot feel any problems, the potholes and uneven surfaces on Estonian roads can shift the wheel geometry without you noticing. Sooner or later every car needs a wheel alignment.
What are toe, camber and caster?
Wheel alignment sets three main parameters: toe (how parallel the wheels are to each other when travelling straight), camber (the vertical tilt of the wheels relative to the road) and caster (the longitudinal tilt of the steering axis, which is responsible for the steering wheel returning to centre).
