Townsville Wheel Alignment
If your car pulls to one side, your steering wheel feels off-centre, or your tyres are wearing unevenly, it’s time to check your wheel alignment. At Fosters Ace Auto Repairs in Townsville, we offer precise wheel alignment services to restore correct geometry and handling.
Misaligned wheels not only affect safety but can also chew through tyres and reduce fuel efficiency. Using modern alignment technology, we adjust your camber, caster and toe settings to match manufacturer specifications, ensuring your car drives straight, corners better, and stays safe on the road. Even hitting a pothole or mounting a kerb can throw things out, so don’t wait until the damage is done.
We also handle suspension repairs, electrical repairs and manifold cleans, so you can trust us to look after your vehicle from top to tread. Call (07) 4779 0419 to book your wheel alignment with our experienced Townsville team.

Accurate Alignment for Safer Driving
A proper wheel alignment keeps your tyres pointing in the right direction—maximising safety, comfort and economy. If your vehicle feels unstable, the steering wheel doesn’t return to centre, or you’ve noticed excessive tyre edge wear, it could be out of alignment.
At our Aitkenvale workshop, we assess your vehicle’s steering and suspension before making accurate adjustments with digital alignment tools. We’ll also check for worn components that may be affecting alignment, such as bushings, tie rods or ball joints. You’ll leave with a smoother ride, better fuel efficiency and tyres that last longer.
Regular alignments also protect your suspension by reducing stress and uneven load distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between wheel alignment & wheel balancing?
Wheel alignment refers to adjusting the angles of the wheels—camber, caster, and toe—so they sit parallel and meet manufacturer specifications. This ensures the vehicle drives straight and handles correctly. Wheel balancing, on the other hand, corrects weight imbalances in the tyre and wheel assembly to prevent vibrations at speed. Both services are essential for a smooth ride, even tyre wear, and optimal fuel efficiency, but they address different aspects of your vehicle’s performance.
How do I know if my wheels are out of alignment?
Signs of poor wheel alignment include uneven tyre wear, the vehicle pulling to one side, steering wheel vibration, or the steering wheel sitting off-centre while driving straight. You might also notice a reduction in handling or fuel economy. Misalignment can occur from everyday driving, hitting potholes, kerbs, or speed bumps. Ignoring these signs can lead to premature tyre wear and unsafe driving conditions, so it’s important to have alignment checked if you notice any changes in handling.
How often should wheel alignment & balancing be done?
It’s generally recommended to have your wheel alignment checked every 10,000 km to 15,000 km, or at least once a year. Balancing is typically done when new tyres are fitted, or if you notice vibrations while driving. However, both may need to be done more often if you frequently drive on rough roads or hit obstacles. Regular checks help maintain vehicle stability, prevent premature tyre wear, and ensure a comfortable driving experience.
