Why Is Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Chevrolet Silverado 1500’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. When your car has 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 the system is aligned to Chevrolet specifications, all of your tires experience equal pressure. Three good things happen as a result: you enjoy a smoother ride, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Chevrolet recommendations. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Chevrolet Silverado 1500

It’s wise to have your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles.

You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or squealing tires.
