How Does Chevrolet Equinox Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Chevrolet Equinox’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. When your car has an alignment 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 Chevrolet intended. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Chevrolet specifies for your vehicle, all of your tires experience equal pressure. As a result, you get several benefits: your car handles better, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Bring your 2008 Chevrolet Equinox in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Chevrolet recommendations. 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. 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 2008 Chevrolet Equinox: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Equinox if your wheel alignment needs attention.
