Hunter Four-Wheel Alignment in Sunbury-on-Thames
Correct alignment keeps the car tracking straight, the steering wheel centred and tyres wearing evenly. We use Hunter four-wheel laser alignment equipment to measure and adjust all four wheels.
It’s worth checking after a pothole impact, kerb strike, new tyres or suspension and steering work.
Common signs
Symptoms worth checking
- Car pulling to one side
- Steering wheel off-centre
- Uneven tyre wear on inner or outer edges
- Vague steering after an impact
What four-wheel alignment means
Alignment measures toe, camber and caster angles at each wheel against the manufacturer’s specification. Four-wheel alignment includes the rear axle, which matters for most modern cars.
Worn components need replacing first — you can’t correctly align a car with play in its joints.
What we check
