What Can I Expect with Chevrolet Malibu Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Chevrolet Malibu's suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. In 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 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 ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2006 Chevrolet Malibu, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Chevrolet. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When to Get Chevrolet Malibu Wheel Alignment

It's a good idea to have your Chevrolet Malibu alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce 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 2006 Chevrolet Malibu: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or squealing tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Malibu if your wheel alignment needs attention.

How Much Does an Alignment for Chevrolet Malibu Cost?

Let’s talk numbers: Chevrolet Malibu wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you 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, so you get more miles out of the same tank of gas and set of tires. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 2006 Chevrolet Malibu wheel alignment estimate.

Answers to Chevrolet Malibu Alignment Questions

  • Why does my 2006 Chevrolet Malibu steering feel different? Don't wait for an 'alignment light' on your dashboard. There isn't one. Getting a professional alignment check is the easiest way to know if your Malibu alignment is off.
  • Are there road conditions that can hurt my Chevrolet Malibu alignment? Potholes and uneven roads can knock your car out of alignment, so stay aware of the road ahead and adjust your speed (or avoid these obstacles whenever it’s safely possible).
  • I just bought new Chevrolet Malibu tires. Do I need an alignment? Protect your investment with a wheel alignment. No one wants to replace tires sooner than necessary. Help your new tires wear evenly from day one, with a wheel alignment.
  • How often should you get a wheel alignment for your Malibu? It’s usually suggested you check your alignment about every 6,000 miles or 6 months (whichever occurs first). Still, you should reference your Malibu owner’s manual for Chevrolet's recommended interval.
  • Does getting new Malibu tires mean you need an alignment? It’s likely not a requirement to get an alignment when you install new tires on your Malibu, but it's a smart idea to do so anyway. An alignment can help ensure even tire wear, smooth handling, and better fuel efficiency.

  • Can an alignment help with a crooked Malibu steering wheel? A wheel alignment is usually what it takes to fix a crooked Malibu steering wheel. When the wheels are not properly aligned, they can cause the car to pull to one side, which can also cause the steering wheel to become crooked while you're driving straight down the road.
