Wheel Alignments in Port Macquarie & Kempsey

If your steering wheel doesn’t sit straight, your vehicle pulls to one side, or your tyres seem to be wearing out faster than expected, there’s a good chance your wheel alignment needs attention.

At Leicht’s Tyre & Auto, wheel alignments are one of the most common services we perform across our Port Macquarie and Kempsey workshops. Many drivers don’t realise that alignment issues can develop gradually over time, making them easy to miss until tyre wear becomes noticeable or the vehicle simply doesn’t feel right on the road.

Does your steering feel a bit ‘off’? Get more life from your tyres. Book a wheel alignment with Leicht’s Tyre & Auto today.

More Than Just a Straight Steering Wheel

A wheel alignment affects far more than the position of your steering wheel.

When your wheels aren't aligned correctly, your tyres can scrub against the road surface rather than rolling smoothly across it. This creates unnecessary wear, reduces tyre life and can make your vehicle less predictable to drive.

Even a minor misalignment can impact:

- Tyre wear
- Steering response
- Vehicle stability
- Fuel economy
- Driver comfort

Many alignment problems start after hitting a pothole, clipping a kerb, travelling regularly on rough roads or simply through normal suspension wear over time.

Getting More Life From Your Tyres

Tyres aren't cheap, which is why protecting them makes sense.

We've seen vehicles come into our workshops with tyres that should have lasted tens of thousands more kilometres but have worn prematurely due to an alignment issue that went unnoticed.

Regular wheel alignment checks can help maximise the life of your tyres and ensure they wear evenly across the tread. It's a simple service that can save money over the long term and help you get the most value from your tyre investment.

When Should You Book a Wheel Alignment?

You don't always need obvious symptoms to justify an alignment check.

We recommend having your wheel alignment inspected if:

- You've recently fitted new tyres
- Your vehicle pulls left or right
- The steering wheel is off-centre
- You've hit a pothole or kerb
- You notice uneven tyre wear
- Suspension or steering work has been carried out
- The vehicle simply doesn't feel as stable as it once did

If you're unsure, our team can inspect your tyres and provide advice about whether an alignment is required.

How do I know if my wheels are out of alignment?

Common signs include your car pulling to one side, uneven tyre wear, or a steering wheel that’s off-centre when driving straight.

Is wheel alignment the same as wheel balancing?

Not quite. Alignment adjusts the angles of your wheels, while balancing ensures the weight is evenly distributed across your tyres. We can help with both.

How long does a wheel alignment take?

Typically, around 45–60 minutes. If we spot anything unusual, we’ll let you know before doing any extra work.

Do I need an alignment after getting new tyres?

Yes — aligning your wheels after a tyre change helps ensure even wear and better performance from day one.
