How Does Buick Century Alignment Work?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Buick Century’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 Buick intended. When your suspension is aligned to Buick’s optimal measurements, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. This gives you several benefits: 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 1987 Buick Century, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Buick recommendations. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When Should I Get Buick Century Wheel Alignment?

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Buick Century alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 1987 Buick Century: pulling to the left or right, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your Century dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

How Much Does an Alignment for Buick Century Cost?

Let’s talk numbers: Buick Century wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you think. Over the years, it could actually save you money. Properly aligned wheels may help increase fuel efficiency and tire lifespan, meaning you could get more miles out of the same tires or tank of gas. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 1987 Buick Century wheel alignment estimate.
