Why Is Dodge Dakota Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Dodge Dakota’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. 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 the system is aligned to Dodge specifications, all of your tires experience equal pressure. Three good things happen as a result: your ride is smoother, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2001 Dodge Dakota, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Dodge’s recommended measurements. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When to Get Dodge Dakota Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Dodge Dakota alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease 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 2001 Dodge Dakota: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your Dakota dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
