Porsche Cayenne Wheel Alignment: Precision Handling Guaranteed
What Exactly Is Wheel Realignment?
All road vehicles need to have their wheels periodically aligned. With so much continual pressure on the wheels and tires, they tend to get pushed slightly out of alignment on three different angles: the camber, caster, and toe angles.
This means your wheels are no longer perfectly parallel as the manufacturer intended, which can cause trouble with steering, handling, braking, and overall vehicle performance. The process of alignment brings the wheels back into a precisely aligned position, just as the OEM intended.
The Primary Causes of Misaligned Wheels
Usual wear and tear leads to wheel misalignment. Issues with the suspension or tires can also accelerate this problem. Every time your car bumps over a pothole, one of your wheels may be pushed another millimeter out of position. And needless to say, collisions of any magnitude can also wreak havoc on a wheel’s alignment.
Have Your Wheels Checked Frequently
It’s advisable to have the alignment of your wheels checked twice a year. This requires specialist tools and expertise. If our technicians determine that your wheels are coming too far out of position, they’ll recommend an alignment, which typically takes just an hour or less.
How Alignments Are Carried Out at Your Porsche Center
During an alignment, your car will be raised so that a specialist machine can be connected to the wheels. This alignment machine provides real-time measurements with pinpoint accuracy, allowing the technician to carefully move each wheel back into its correct position. This primarily requires adjusting suspension components.
Common Warning Signs of Misaligned Wheels
When wheels first become misaligned, you may not notice the difference. But as the problem worsens, your steering will be impacted in various ways. The steering wheel may start to feel looser in your hands. It may also become off-center, meaning you need to hold the wheel at an awkward angle to drive in a straight line.
With at least one wheel pointing in an improper direction, you may also find your car veering to one side. On top of this, the added friction from misaligned wheels generates extra road noise and vibrations. The tires will also suffer, wearing down unevenly and squealing noisily when you corner.
