Are you looking for Camber & Caster Adjustment for your vehicle?
Properly aligned wheels are crucial to your vehicle’s smooth handling performance, steering response, cornering precision as well as extended tyre life. Any deviation from optimum camber and caster alignment can increase the risk of accidents besides potentially damaging the suspension components.
Hence, to be on the safer side, you must opt for routine camber and caster adjustment Luton at a professional garage that uses state-of-the-art aligners. And for that, Tyrestone is your one-stop solution.
What are camber and caster angles?
Camber refers to the tilt of your vehicle’s wheels (inward tilt: negative camber; outward tilt: positive camber) when viewed from the front of the car.
On the other hand, caster indicates the slope of your car’s steering axis. If this steering axis is at 0°, it’s called zero caster. Similarly, if the bottom of the steering axis lies ahead of the tyres’ contact path, it’s referred to as positive caster. These angles have serious impacts on your car’s handling performance and suspension and steering components.
At Tyrestone, our experts will thoroughly check these angles and provide accurate camber and caster adjustment in the least TAT.
Implications of camber and caster angles: Why are they important?
Accurate camber angles distribute the load of the tyres across the entire tread surface. This means incorrectly aligned camber will lead to accelerated tread wear. As a result, your vehicle will spontaneously pull towards the side that has the most positive camber.
Most modern vehicles, as per factory-recommended specifications, require a certain degree of positive caster for optimum handling performance. This provides a stable driving experience besides ensuring steering wheel self-centring. (Usually, heavy-duty vehicles require more negative caster.)
