What Can I Expect with Dodge Caliber Alignment?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Dodge Caliber’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. During the service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Dodge. 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 Dodge specifies for your vehicle, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. This gives you several benefits: your ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2009 Dodge Caliber, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Dodge. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When Should I Get Dodge Caliber Wheel Alignment?

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Dodge Caliber alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2009 Dodge Caliber: pulling to the left or right, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your Caliber dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

How Much Does an Alignment for Dodge Caliber Cost?
