EV & Hybrid Wheel Alignment
Correct wheel alignment is essential for safe handling, even tyre wear and stable road performance. When alignment is out, your vehicle can pull to one side, steering can feel off-centre, and tyres can wear far faster than they should.
At Shaikly EV Specialists, we carry out precise four-wheel alignment using advanced optical and digital alignment equipment to ensure your vehicle is set exactly to manufacturer specifications.
What Is Wheel Alignment?
Wheel alignment refers to the position and angle of your wheels in relation to the road and your vehicle’s chassis. Even small deviations can affect:
-
Steering stability
-
Vehicle handling
-
Tyre wear
-
Braking performance
-
Rolling resistance
Alignment can be affected by potholes, kerb strikes, suspension wear or previous incorrect setup.
Signs Your Vehicle May Need Alignment
If you notice any of the following, wheel alignment should be checked:
-
Vehicle pulling left or right
-
Steering wheel not centred when driving straight
-
Uneven or rapid tyre wear
-
Steering feels unstable or vague
-
Vehicle feels unsettled at speed
These symptoms can apply to both conventional vehicles and EVs, where correct alignment is especially important due to vehicle weight and tyre load ratings.
When Should Alignment Be Checked?
We recommend having wheel alignment checked:
-
After suspension or steering repairs
-
After replacing tyres
-
Following impact with a pothole or kerb
-
If tyre wear appears uneven
-
As part of routine vehicle maintenance
Regular alignment checks can significantly extend tyre life and improve driving stability.
