Motor matters: Getting in line

Many are the times car owners think less of their car wheels until there is a puncture or flat-tyre. We forget that uneven tyres can drive you off the road and cause serious accidents. Safari Ndikumana, an engineer in Kicukiro, explained that car wheels need attention just like any other part of the car. According to experts, wheel alignment consists of adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. The purpose of these adjustments is to maximise tyre life.
