How Does Chevrolet El Camino Alignment Work?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Chevrolet El Camino’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. When your car has an alignment 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 Chevrolet intended them to. When the system is aligned to Chevrolet specifications, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. As a result, you get several benefits: your car handles better, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Bring your 1987 Chevrolet El Camino in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Chevrolet. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Chevrolet El Camino

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Chevrolet El Camino alignment checked about 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 may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 1987 Chevrolet El Camino: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your El Camino dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
