Why Is Dodge Dakota Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Dodge Dakota’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. When your car has an alignment 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 of your tires experience equal pressure. Three good things happen as a result: your ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1999 Dodge Dakota, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Dodge recommendations. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When Should I Get Dodge Dakota Wheel Alignment?

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Dodge Dakota alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 1999 Dodge Dakota: pulling to the left or right, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Dakota dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
