Automotive Tips from Blair's Ferry Automotive: Alignment Inspection
December 1, 2019
Uneven tire wear, the car pulling to one side or a steering wheel that is off-center are signs for Marion drivers that their wheels may be out of alignment.
When doing an alignment inspection, the service advisor at Blair's Ferry Automotive 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 vehicle 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 a crash, hit a curb/pothole, frequently drive off-road around Marion, or notice any symptoms of misalignment, have your Blair's Ferry Automotive service advisor perform an important alignment check.
