Auto Lab Troy Car Care News and Information: Alignment Inspection
November 14, 2015
Uneven tire wear, the automobile pulling to one side or a steering wheel that is off-center are signs for Troy car owners that their wheels may be out of alignment.
When doing an alignment inspection, the service advisor will inspect your tires for uneven wear as well as suspension and steering parts for signs of wear or damage. He’ll also compare your current alignment with the automobile manufacturer's settings.
Your vehicle owner’s manual will have a recommendation for when to check alignment. Of course, this recommendation is based on normal driving. If you have been in crash, hit a curb/pothole, frequently drive off-road around Troy, or notice any symptoms of misalignment, have your Auto Lab Troy tech complete an important alignment check.
