Is Your Caravan Wearing Tyres Unevenly?
- Uneven tyre wear, poor tracking, and increased tyre replacement costs can all be signs that your caravan's wheel alignment needs attention.
- At Weigh It Up, we offer wheel alignments for independent suspension caravans to help ensure your caravan is tracking correctly and your tyres are wearing evenly.
- Many owners don't realise there is a problem until they notice excessive tyre wear or unusual handling characteristics. A wheel alignment can identify issues before they become expensive repairs.
Common Signs Your Caravan May Need an Alignment
- Excessive wear on the inside or outside edge of tyres
- One tyre wearing faster than the others
- Caravan feeling unstable or wandering behind the vehicle
- Recent suspension repairs or modifications
- Impact damage from potholes, gutters or rough roads
- • Unexplained tyre replacement costs
- If you're noticing any of these signs, it may be time to have your alignment checked.
Combined Weighing & Alignment Service
- For many caravan owners, a wheel alignment and weight assessment go hand in hand.
- While weighing helps ensure you're towing within your legal and manufacturer limits, wheel alignment helps ensure your caravan is tracking correctly and your tyres are performing as intended.
- Together they provide a more complete picture of your caravan's setup and roadworthiness.
How it's done
- We inspect your caravan's tyres, wheels and suspension components.
- Specialised alignment equipment is attached to each wheel to accurately measure the current wheel alignment settings.
- We compare the measurements against the manufacturer's specifications to identify any alignment issues.
- Adjustments are made where required to bring the wheels back within specification.
- The alignment is then re-checked to ensure all measurements are accurate.
- Once complete, we explain the results in plain English and provide recommendations to help maximise tyre life, towing performance and safety.
- Whether you're experiencing uneven tyre wear or simply want peace of mind before your next trip, a wheel alignment can help ensure your caravan is tracking correctly and performing as intended.
