Wheel Alignment & Steering Adjustment in Marrickville
Correct wheel alignment keeps your steering true, braking predictable and tyres wearing evenly. If your vehicle pulls to one side, the steering wheel sits off-centre, or you’re seeing rapid inner/outer edge wear, it’s time for a professional alignment. At DG Auto in Marrickville, we measure and adjust alignment angles to manufacturer specifications, road-test before and after, and explain exactly what we’ve corrected.
Alignment is especially important after replacing tyres or suspension parts, hitting a pothole or kerb, or if you’ve noticed changes in handling. Setting toe, camber and caster accurately protects your tyres, improves fuel economy and restores confidence behind the wheel.
What’s Included in Our Wheel Alignment
We carry out a thorough pre-check, precise adjustments and a post-alignment verification so you leave with a straight-tracking, predictable vehicle.
- Pre-alignment road test to assess pull, drift and steering wheel position
- Tyre condition and pressure check; note abnormal wear patterns
- Suspension and steering joint play check (tie-rods, ball joints, bushes)
- Front and rear toe adjustment to spec (where adjustable)
- Camber and caster measurement and adjustment (where adjustable)
- Thrust angle and rear axle geometry verification
- Steering wheel centring
- Steering angle sensor reset/calibration (where required)
- Post-alignment road test and simple results explanation
Note: If we find worn or bent components that prevent accurate alignment, we’ll show you and provide clear options before proceeding.

Wheel Alignment FAQs
How often should I get a wheel alignment?
As a guide: every 10,000–15,000 km, after new tyres, or any time you notice pulling, off-centre steering or uneven wear. Impacts with potholes/kerbs are also a trigger.
Do I need an alignment after buying new tyres?
Yes. New tyres can develop uneven wear quickly if alignment is out. Checking and adjusting alignment protects your investment.
How long does a wheel alignment take?
Most alignments take 45–75 minutes depending on the vehicle and whether components require adjustment or freeing up.
Can all cars have camber and caster adjusted?
Not all vehicles have factory adjustments for camber/caster. Where non-adjustable, we verify geometry and check for worn/bent parts that may cause angles to drift.
What if you find worn parts?
If components like tie-rods, ball joints or bushes have play, we’ll show you and provide options. Accurate alignment depends on tight, healthy components.
