Why Is Chevrolet Malibu Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Chevrolet Malibu’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. During the 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 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: you enjoy a smoother ride, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1998 Chevrolet Malibu, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. 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 Malibu Wheel Alignment

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Chevrolet Malibu alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 1998 Chevrolet Malibu: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your Malibu dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My Chevrolet Malibu?

Chevrolet Malibu wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. In the long run, it could actually help you save money. Correctly aligned wheels can help boost fuel efficiency and increase the lifespan of your tires, meaning you could get more miles out of the same tires or tank of gas. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 1998 Chevrolet Malibu wheel alignment estimate.
