A caravan wheel alignment is the process of adjusting the angles of the wheels, specifically camber, toe, and thrust to ensure they are set correctly in relation to each other and the road. This helps your caravan tow straight, handle properly, and wear tyres evenly.
Proper alignment prevents uneven tyre wear, improves stability, reduces fuel consumption, and makes towing safer and smoother. A misaligned caravan can sway, drag, or pull to one side, increasing wear and tear on tyres and suspension.
We recommend checking your caravan’s alignment at least once a year, or after every 10,000–15,000 km. It’s also important to recheck alignment after hitting potholes, curbs, or travelling on rough roads, as these can knock wheels out of alignment.
Common causes include potholes, rough terrain, overloading, tyre impacts, worn suspension components, or chassis flex. Even small knocks or uneven weight distribution can affect alignment over time.
Look for uneven tyre wear, your caravan pulling to one side, increased sway when towing, poor tracking behind your vehicle, or reduced fuel efficiency. These are all telltale signs of misalignment.
Yes. We align all types of caravans—single axle, dual axle, and independent suspension systems—using advanced laser and digital equipment designed for precise, multi-axle calibration.
No, not always. Our mobile alignment setup allows us to check and adjust most caravans while they’re connected to the tow vehicle, ensuring the alignment matches real-world towing conditions.
A standard wheel alignment typically takes around 60–90 minutes, depending on the setup and any required adjustments. We perform a full inspection and provide a detailed report on camber, toe, and thrust readings.
Yes, because visual tyre checks don’t always show early signs of misalignment. Regular alignments prevent uneven wear before it becomes visible, saving you from premature tyre replacement and improving safety.
