Toe-in and geometry: symptoms, effects and when it makes sense. Make an appointment at SpotMeUp.
If the car pulls, the steering wheel is crooked or the tires eat "on one side", the geometry is one of the first things to check. The problem often occurs after hitting a pothole, curb or after replacing suspension components.
Bad geometry isn't just discomfort - it means faster tire wear and poorer stability. It is also worth remembering: convergence alone is not always enough, sometimes full geometry adjustment is needed.
In SpotMeUp, go to Automotive → Mechanics and service and select the geometry/alignment service. Add in the comments: whether the car pulls, whether the steering wheel is straight and how the tires wear.
Frequently asked questions:
When to do geometry? After impacts, suspension replacement and in case of pulling symptoms.
Does geometry extend the life of tires? Yes, if the problem was a bad setting.
Is convergence the same as geometry? No - alignment is part of the setup.
Is every tire "eaten" by geometry? No, but it's a common reason.
Do I need to do this after replacing tires? Not always, but it's worth checking with your symptoms.
How long does the service take? Depending on the car and scope.
Can I reschedule? Depends on the rules.
How to join as a workshop? Add profile and services.
