Why Is Cadillac Catera Alignment Important?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Cadillac Catera's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. 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 Cadillac intended. When the system is aligned to Cadillac specifications, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. As a result, you get several benefits: your car handles better, the lifespan of your tires increases, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. When you bring in your 2001 Cadillac Catera, we’ll perform an alignment check first. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Cadillac recommendations. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When to Get Cadillac Catera Wheel Alignment

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Cadillac Catera alignment checked about 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 also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2001 Cadillac Catera: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, uneven or rapid tire wear, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Catera dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
