Uneven tire wear, the car pulling to one side or a steering wheel that is off-center are signs for Clinton Township drivers that their wheels may be out of alignment.

When doing an alignment inspection, the service advisor at Tuffy Clinton Township 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.

If you have been in a crash, hit a curb/pothole, frequently drive off-road around Clinton Township, or notice any symptoms of misalignment, have your Tuffy Clinton Township service advisor perform an important alignment check.
