Wheel Tracking in Hebburn, Tyne and Wear

Quick, accurate front wheel tracking at Banks Of The Tyne Motor Company in Hebburn. If your car pulls to one side or your steering wheel isn't straight, a tracking check can put it right and save your tyres.

Front Wheel Tracking

Wheel tracking sets the toe angle of your front wheels, the direction they point relative to each other. Hitting a pothole, kerb or speed bump at speed can knock the tracking out, and even a small error can wear the edges of your front tyres surprisingly quickly.

Our Hebburn team measures your front wheels and adjusts the track rods to manufacturer specification. It's a quick job that usually pays for itself in tyre life. If we find your car would benefit from full four-wheel alignment, we'll let you know.

Know The Signs

  • You've just fitted new front tyres

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does wheel tracking take?

Usually around 30 minutes, so most customers wait while we do it.

Do I need tracking or four-wheel alignment?

If your car only has adjustment on the front, or you simply want to check after a pothole, tracking is usually enough. Cars with adjustable rear suspension, or persistent wear problems, benefit from four-wheel alignment.

Should I get my tracking done with new tyres?

It's a good idea. Checking the tracking when you fit new tyres helps them wear evenly from day one.
