What Can I Expect with Alfa Romeo Spider Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Alfa Romeo Spider's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. During the service, calculated changes are made to the angles of your tires. This is so that your tires hit the road at an optimal angle for your vehicle’s performance — just as Alfa Romeo intended. When your suspension is aligned to Alfa Romeo’s optimal measurements, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. Three good things happen as a result: your ride is smoother, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1986 Alfa Romeo Spider, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Alfa Romeo recommendations. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When to Get Alfa Romeo Spider Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Alfa Romeo Spider alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 1986 Alfa Romeo Spider: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your Spider dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My Alfa Romeo Spider?

Alfa Romeo Spider wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. In the long run, it could actually help you save money. Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, so you can fill up less often, plus get more miles out of your tires. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 1986 Alfa Romeo Spider wheel alignment estimate.
