Getting the Hilux’s wheel alignment and balancing done every 10,000 to 15,000 km o r whenever there are signs of uneven wear, steering vibration, o r pulling to one side helps maintain smooth handling and tyre longevity. Regular alignment improves stability, fuel efficiency, and driving comfort, especially on rough roads. Many Hilux owners notice reduced tyre wear, better grip, and a smoother ride after alignment. Balancing eliminates vibrations at high speeds, enhancing overall driving safety. Checking alignment after off-road trips o r hitting potholes helps prevent long-term damage.
