Why Is Buick Riviera Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Buick Riviera’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. During the service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Buick. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. 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 car handles better, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1998 Buick Riviera, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Buick. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When to Get Buick Riviera Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Buick Riviera alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on 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 1998 Buick Riviera: 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 tires that squeal frequently. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Riviera if your wheel alignment needs attention.
