What Can I Expect with Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Chevrolet Silverado 1500's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your 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 the system is aligned to Chevrolet specifications, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. Three good things happen as a result: your ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. When you bring in your 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, we’ll perform an alignment check first. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Chevrolet. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When to Get Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 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 may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Silverado 1500 if your wheel alignment needs attention.
