How Does Chevrolet K3500 Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Chevrolet K3500’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. When your car has an alignment 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 suspension is aligned to Chevrolet’s optimal measurements, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. This gives you several benefits: your car handles better, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Bring your 1997 Chevrolet K3500 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. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Chevrolet K3500

It’s wise to have your Chevrolet K3500 alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce 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 1997 Chevrolet K3500: 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 noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your K3500 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
