How Does Chevrolet R20 Alignment Work?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Chevrolet R20's suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. In 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 system is aligned to the measurements that Chevrolet specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. This gives you several benefits: your car handles better, 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 1987 Chevrolet R20, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Chevrolet. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Chevrolet R20

It’s wise to have your Chevrolet R20 alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. 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 may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 1987 Chevrolet R20: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, excessive wear on only one tire, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your R20 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
