What is 4 Wheel Alignment?
ABOUT 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT
4 wheel alignment is the process of checking and adjusting the angles of your vehicle’s wheels so they are correctly positioned in relation to each other and the road.
Over time, potholes, kerbs, worn components and general driving can cause wheel alignment to move away from the manufacturer’s recommended settings.
Incorrect alignment can result in uneven tyre wear, poor handling, steering that doesn’t sit straight and a vehicle that pulls to one side.
At Bingley Service & MOT Centre, we use professional Ravaglioli CCD wheel alignment equipment to accurately measure the vehicle and identify where adjustments may be required.
About
What is Ravaglioli CCD wheel alignment?
- Accurate Measurement: All four wheels are measured using an 8-sensor CCD system.
- Professional Equipment: We use the Ravaglioli RAVTD2.0WIFI Premium alignment system.
- Improved Tyre Wear: Correct alignment can help reduce uneven and premature tyre wear.
- Better Handling: Correct wheel geometry helps your vehicle track and handle as it should.
WHEN TO CHECK YOUR ALIGNMENT
Could Your Wheel Alignment Be Out?
Wheel alignment problems aren’t always immediately obvious. Your vehicle may still drive normally while your tyres are gradually wearing unevenly.
You should consider having your alignment checked if you notice:
- Uneven Tyre Wear – Excessive wear on the inside or outside edge of a tyre can indicate an alignment problem.
- Pulling to One Side – If your car tends to drift left or right when driving on a straight road, your alignment may need checking.
- Steering Wheel Off-Centre – If the steering wheel isn’t straight while the vehicle is travelling straight ahead, thewheel geometry may need attention.
- After a Pothole or Kerb Impact – A significant impact can alter wheel alignment, even when there is no obvious damage to the wheel or tyre.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
Professional Ravaglioli Wheel Alignment
For our 4 wheel alignment service, we use the Ravaglioli RAVTD2.0WIFI Premium — a professional CCD wheel alignment system designed for modern workshops.
The system uses eight CCD sensors and communicates wirelessly with a dedicated 10-inch touchscreen tablet, allowing our technicians to monitor alignment measurements directly at the vehicle.
The system is compact and designed without the need for a traditional alignment console or PC, making it an efficient and modern solution for accurate wheel alignment
PRECISION MEASUREMENT
More Than Just Tracking
A modern 4 wheel alignment checks much more than whether your front wheels point straight ahead.
The Ravaglioli system allows our technicians to measure a range of important wheel alignment angles and geometry, helping to identify where the vehicle differs from the required settings.
TOE
Measures the angle of the wheels relative to the vehicle’s centre line.
CAMBER
Measures the inward or outward angle of the wheel when viewed from the front.
CASTER
Measures the steering axis angle and contributes to steering stability.
THRUST ANGLE
Checks the direction of the rear axle in relation to the vehicle centre line.
GEOMETRIC CENTRE LINE
Helps establish the vehicle’s true centre line.
SET-BACK
Identifies differences in the position of the wheels across an axle.

COMMON QUESTIONS
4 Wheel Alignment FAQs
How do I know if my wheel alignment is out?
Common signs include uneven tyre wear, the vehicle pulling to one side or a steering wheel that isn’t centred when driving straight.
Is 4 wheel alignment the same as tracking?
Not necessarily. Basic tracking may focus on the front wheels, whereas a four-wheel alignment assesses the relationship and geometry of all four wheels.
Can hitting a pothole affect wheel alignment?
Yes. A significant impact can alter wheel geometry, even when there is no obvious damage.
Should I have an alignment check after suspension work?
If steering or suspension components have been replaced or adjusted, it can be sensible to check the alignment.
What size wheels can the Ravaglioli system accommodate?
The RAVTD2.0WIFI Premium is specified for wheel sizes from 8 to 24 inches and wheelbases up to 4,500mm.
Can I get a copy of my alignment results?
The Ravaglioli system supports sending alignment test reports directly to customers by email.
Is Your Car Driving Straight?
If your vehicle is pulling to one side, your steering wheel isn’t centred or your tyres are wearing unevenly, it could be time to have your wheel alignment checked
