Tuffy Ocala Auto Tips and Car Care: Signs of An Alignment Problem

February 10, 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. Gainesville auto owners often associate our wheels being “knocked” out of alignment with an event like an accident, hitting a pothole, curb or some other object.

While these can certainly take your wheels out of alignment, the bumps and bounces of everyday Ocala driving take their toll on wheel alignment as well.

Furthermore, your vehicle  can lose alignment over time with just normal driving. When your wheels are out of alignment, Tuffy Ocala in Ocala can return your wheels to the car maker factory settings. Most owners’ manuals suggest an alignment check every year or two.
