How Does Chevrolet S10 Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Chevrolet S10’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 the system is aligned to Chevrolet specifications, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. This gives you several benefits: your ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1986 Chevrolet S10, 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 S10 Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Chevrolet S10 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 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 1986 Chevrolet S10: pulling to the left or right, excessive wear on only one tire, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or squealing tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your S10 if your wheel alignment needs attention.
