Understanding Spooring, So That Wheel Performance Becomes More Harmonious

JAKARTA, FEBRUARY 2025, Daihatsu friends are no strangers to wheel alignment. The harmony of the performance of all four wheels indicates driving comfort.

As time goes by with various road conditions, it clearly alters the balance of each wheel's performance. Especially if frequently passing through damaged roads, the performance of the suspension is at stake.

As a result, the condition of the wheels relative to the chassis needs alignment. The step of wheel alignment, or more commonly known as spooring, becomes a logical choice. The spooring step becomes a common practice so that your beloved Daihatsu remains comfortable.

Indications for Spooring

• The indications are directly felt by the driver. First, when turning, the steering wheel feels heavy and is difficult to keep in a straight position. 
• Daihatsu friends can see directly, on the condition of the tire tread. If the level of tread wear is uneven, the spooring step becomes an option.

Why Spooring?

 There is certainly a reason for it. Spooring is performed on all four tires of the car as a step to straighten the position of the front and rear tires. This step is to ensure that the wheel position returns to straight according to the original specifications of the car.

EPS and Non-EPS Features, Different Spooring? 

Several things need to be considered if your car is equipped with electronic power steering features as adopted by most of the Daihatsu line such as Ayla, Sirion, Terios, and others.

• Is there a difference in treatment during spooring? In general, there is no significant difference in aligning the wheels, whether the transporter has EPS or does not adopt EPS. 
• Technically, the mechanism is not different from conventional spooring in general. The media or tools for spooring are connected to a computerized system and use infrared sensors to scan the actual condition of the wheels. 
• In practice, both are relatively the same when performing wheel alignment to align the wheels. From scanning to adjusting chamber and toe, there is no difference.
• Conventional spooring tools to 3D are also options. In principle, both are relatively the same. Only the speed and practicality become the differentiators.
