We check and adjust wheel alignment angles on a 3D alignment rig at our workshop in Lasnamäe. Before the adjustment, we inspect the suspension and steering: if any parts are worn, we first agree on replacing them — otherwise the alignment will not hold.

What is adjusted during a wheel alignment
Wheel alignment means setting the angles of the wheels. They affect the vehicle’s stability, how the steering behaves and how the tyres wear. On a 3D rig, targets are mounted on the wheels, cameras measure the angles, and the results are compared with the manufacturer’s specifications for the specific model.
Camber
The inward or outward tilt of the wheel when the vehicle is viewed from the front. With incorrect camber, the tyre wears along one edge.
Toe
The position of the wheels on one axle relative to each other. Incorrect toe is a common cause of the vehicle pulling to one side and of rapid tyre wear.
Caster
The forward or backward tilt of the steering axis. It affects straight-line stability and how the steering wheel returns to centre. Caster cannot be adjusted on every vehicle — it depends on the suspension design.
When you need a wheel alignment
Have the wheel alignment checked if you notice any of the signs below or if the suspension has recently been repaired.
The vehicle pulls to one side. On a level road, you have to keep correcting the steering to drive straight.
The steering wheel is off-centre. When you drive straight ahead, the steering wheel is turned to one side.
The tyres wear unevenly. The tread wears down on the inner or outer edge.
The suspension or steering has been repaired. Control arms, bushings, ball joints, tie rods or tie rod ends have been replaced.
A wheel has taken a hard hit. Hitting a kerb or a pothole can change the wheel alignment angles.
The vehicle handles differently. It is harder to keep in a straight line or feels unsteady in corners.
How a 3D wheel alignment is done
First we inspect the suspension and steering, then we measure and adjust the wheel angles.
Suspension inspection
We check the suspension and steering. If any parts are worn, we let you know and agree on replacing them before the adjustment.
Preparation
If necessary, we clean and free up seized tie rods and tie rod ends. This work is charged separately.
3D measurement
We mount targets on the wheels and measure the angles of the front axle or both axles.
Adjustment
We set the angles to the manufacturer’s specifications and check the result.
Why you should not put off a wheel alignment
If suspension faults are not fixed and the wheel angles are not adjusted, this can lead to:
- faster wear of suspension parts;
- failure of steering components;
- higher fuel consumption;
- rapid and uneven tyre wear;
- poorer stability and a higher risk of an accident.
If your tyres have already worn unevenly, we can replace them — see the Tyre change page.
Frequently asked questions about wheel alignment
How much does a wheel alignment cost?
The price depends on whether we align only the front axle or both axles, and on the type of vehicle. Current prices are on the Prices page. Preparing seized tie rods and tie rod ends is charged separately.
Is a suspension check needed before a wheel alignment?
Yes. If the suspension or steering is faulty, the adjustment will not help: the alignment will soon be out again and the tyres will keep wearing unevenly. That is why we inspect the suspension and steering first and agree on replacing any worn parts.
Can you align only the front axle?
Yes. We check and adjust either the front axle only or both axles at once — these are separate items in the price list.
When should I have a wheel alignment done?
When the vehicle pulls to one side, the steering wheel is off-centre or the tyres wear unevenly. Also after suspension or steering repairs and after a wheel has taken a hard hit.
What warranty do you give on wheel alignment?
Claims regarding wheel alignment are accepted within two weeks. The warranty on work and parts is 6 months; it does not cover parts supplied by the customer.
