Automotive Tips from TLC Custom Exhaust Brakes & Tires: Causes of Wheel Misalignment

February 2, 2020

Please wait while the video is loading...

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. Royal Oak 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 Royal Oak 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 TLC Custom Exhaust Brakes & Tires in Royal Oak can return your wheels to the factory settings. Most owners’ manuals suggest an inspection every year or two.
