Why Is Chevrolet Equinox Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Chevrolet Equinox’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 your suspension is aligned to Chevrolet’s optimal measurements, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. This gives you several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Bring your 2006 Chevrolet Equinox in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Chevrolet’s recommended measurements. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When to Get Chevrolet Equinox Wheel Alignment

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Chevrolet Equinox alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce 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 2006 Chevrolet Equinox: pulling to the left or right, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or tires that squeal frequently. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Equinox dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

Properly aligned wheels may help increase fuel efficiency and tire lifespan, so you can fill up less often, plus get more miles out of your tires. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 2006 Chevrolet Equinox wheel alignment estimate.
