Tuffy Bloomington Auto Maintenance Videos: Causes of Wheel Misalignment

January 26, 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. Bloomington car owners 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 driving take their toll on wheel alignment as well. Your auto can lose alignment over time with just normal driving.

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