Why Is Buick Skyhawk Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Buick Skyhawk’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. During the service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Buick intended them to. When the system is aligned to Buick specifications, all of your tires experience equal pressure. This gives you several benefits: your ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1987 Buick Skyhawk, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Buick’s recommended measurements. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When to Get Buick Skyhawk Wheel Alignment

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Buick Skyhawk alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 1987 Buick Skyhawk: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Skyhawk if your wheel alignment needs attention.
