Professional wheel alignment and tyre balancing for all Land Rover models. Important after suspension lifts and off-road use.
Correct wheel alignment is one of the most important — and most overlooked — aspects of Land Rover ownership in Australia. At Davis Performance Landys, we operate Hunter alignment equipment purpose-suited to 4WD and high-clearance vehicles, giving us the precision to set your Land Rover up correctly for Australian roads rather than the European conditions these vehicles are originally calibrated for.
Factory alignment specifications are set for smooth European tarmac. Australian conditions — corrugated dirt roads, gravel tracks, and the uneven surfaces common throughout the Hawkesbury and Western Sydney regions — place very different demands on steering geometry. Running factory-spec alignment in these conditions accelerates tyre wear, introduces wandering at highway speeds, and places unnecessary stress on steering components.
After any suspension lift, alignment becomes critical. Lifting a Defender, Discovery, or Range Rover changes the caster angle, which affects straight-line stability and self-centring. In many cases, caster correction arms are required to restore proper steering geometry after a lift — something we assess and advise on as part of every post-lift alignment appointment.
We see vehicles from South Windsor, Richmond, Windsor, Penrith, the Hills District, and across the Hawkesbury for alignment work. Our workshop at 18/62 Argyle St, South Windsor is approximately 45 minutes from Sydney CBD, with straightforward access for customers travelling from McGraths Hill, Pitt Town, and surrounding areas.
Whether your Land Rover has just had a lift installed, is covering high kilometres on unsealed roads, or is simply due for a routine geometry check, our team of specialists with over 30 years of Land Rover experience will ensure your vehicle handles and wears tyres the way it should.
Every 20,000–25,000 km for road-driven vehicles, and after every significant off-road trip or any suspension work. Vehicles covering unsealed roads in areas like the Hawkesbury should align more frequently due to the additional stress on steering components.
Yes, always. A suspension lift changes the caster angle of the front axle, which directly affects steering stability and self-centring. Most lifted Land Rovers also require caster correction arms to restore factory steering geometry. Skipping this step after a lift leads to vague steering and accelerated tyre wear.
A caster correction arm replaces the standard radius arm and is angled to restore the caster geometry that changes when you lift a Land Rover. They are typically required on lifts of 2 inches or more. Without correction, the front wheels sit too far forward relative to the steering geometry, causing poor straight-line tracking.
Corrugated and gravel surfaces can knock wheel alignment out of specification, particularly toe settings. A single significant impact — like hitting a rut or rock — can be enough. If your vehicle is pulling or the steering wheel is off-centre, a four-wheel alignment check is the correct starting point.
Yes. We balance all Land Rover wheel and tyre combinations, including larger aftermarket fitments common on lifted vehicles. We see a wide range of wheel sizes across Defender, Discovery, Range Rover Classic, and modern Range Rover models.
We use Hunter Engineering alignment systems, which provide four-wheel, camera-based measurements. This equipment handles the larger ride heights and tyre sizes typical of Land Rovers, giving accurate readings that standard passenger car alignment rigs cannot achieve reliably on 4WD vehicles.
