How Does Chevrolet Prizm Alignment Work?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Chevrolet Prizm's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. During the 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 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: you enjoy a smoother ride, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2002 Chevrolet Prizm, 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. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When Should I Get Chevrolet Prizm Wheel Alignment?

It's a good idea to have your Chevrolet Prizm alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 2002 Chevrolet Prizm: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your Prizm dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
