Automotive Tips from Tuffy Lake In The Hills: Causes of Wheel Misalignment

May 8, 2016

When properly aligned, all of your wheels are pointed in the same direction. Your vehicle will track true and handle the way it is designed. Lake In The Hills drivers often associate our wheels being “knocked” out of alignment with an event like a major crash, hitting a pothole, curb or some other object. While these can certainly take your wheels out of alignment, the bumps and bounces of everyday Lake In The Hills driving take their toll on wheel alignment as well. Your car can lose alignment over time with just normal driving.

When your wheels are out of alignment, the team of automotive professionals at Tuffy Lake In The Hills in Lake In The Hills can return your wheels to the factory settings. Most owners’ manuals suggest an inspection every year or two.
