What Can I Expect with Chevrolet K1500 Alignment?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Chevrolet K1500’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. During the service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Chevrolet. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Chevrolet specifies for your vehicle, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. As a result, you get several benefits: your car handles better, the lifespan of your tires increases, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Bring your 1988 Chevrolet K1500 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. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Chevrolet K1500

You won’t see any warning lights on your K1500 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
