Why Is Dodge Colt Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Dodge Colt’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. When your car has an alignment 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 Dodge intended them to. When your suspension is aligned to Dodge’s optimal measurements, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. 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. Bring your 1986 Dodge Colt in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Dodge’s recommended measurements. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When Should I Get Dodge Colt Wheel Alignment?

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Dodge Colt alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 1986 Dodge Colt: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, uneven or rapid tire wear, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your Colt dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

How Much Does an Alignment for Dodge Colt Cost?

Dodge Colt wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. Over the life of your car, it could help you save on overall costs. Properly aligned wheels may help increase fuel efficiency and tire lifespan, meaning you could get more miles out of the same tires or tank of gas. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 1986 Dodge Colt wheel alignment estimate.
