Frequently Asked Questions
Having correct wheel alignment has a huge impact on how long your tyres last, and is critical to the safety and efficiency of your vehicle. Correctly aligned wheels will be parallel with one another and perpendicular to the ground within a very precise and sensitive range of acceptance. Any variation from this range has an impact on the resistance of your tyres, and thus the efficiency and safety of your car.
Other signs of misalignment include the sensation that your car is pulling to the left or right, or vibration through the steering wheel. Regular wear and tear in your steering assembly, suspension and tyres will all affect wheel alignment over time, which is why it is an important element of the safety checks we undertake here at Cox Auto when you service your car regularly.
If you’ve noticed uneven wear and tear on your tyre treads, wear on the inner or outer edges of your tyres, or have experienced a sudden or sharp impact on one of more of your wheels, then it’s time to see an expert – these are all indications that your vehicle may require a wheel alignment.
Yes, you can change your car’s steering wheel. It’s a common modification that many car enthusiasts and owners undertake to enhance the look and feel of their vehicle’s interior. It is important to consider the consequences of such change, though. The new steering wheel must be compatible with your car’s make and model, and should absolutely be installed by a professional. Changing a car steering wheel may impact the functionality of features like airbags or cruise control, so it’s critical to consider these factors when making the switch.
The cost of replacing a car steering wheel depends on the make and model of car, and the complexity of electronic and safety features involved. Airbag-equipped steering wheels will be significantly higher in cost due to the complex safety components involved. If you’re thinking about replacing your steering wheel, let us know and we’ll help personalise a quote for your needs.
Hearing unexpected noises when you turn the steering wheel can be an early warning sign of underlying issues with your vehicle, including:
- Low power steering fluid
- Worn or loose drive belts
- Faulty power steering pump
- Worn out suspension components
- Steering system damage
