What Can I Expect with Dodge Dakota Alignment?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Dodge Dakota’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. In an alignment service, calculated changes are made to the angles of your tires. This is so that your tires hit the road at an optimal angle for your vehicle’s performance — just as Dodge intended. 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: you enjoy a smoother ride, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and your suspension system experiences less strain. When you bring in your 1996 Dodge Dakota, we’ll perform an alignment check first. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Dodge. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Dodge Dakota

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Dodge Dakota alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 1996 Dodge Dakota: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Dakota dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My Dodge Dakota?

On a budget? Dodge Dakota wheel alignment might be more affordable than you think. Over the years, it could actually save you money. Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, meaning you could get more miles out of the same tires or tank of gas. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Call a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care to get an estimate for 1996 Dodge Dakota wheel alignment costs today.
