How Does Dodge Journey Alignment Work?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Dodge Journey’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. 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 of your tires experience equal pressure. This gives you several benefits: your car handles better, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Bring your 2012 Dodge Journey in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Dodge recommendations. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When to Get Dodge Journey Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Dodge Journey alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed. You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2012 Dodge Journey: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, 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 Journey dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

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

Let’s talk numbers: Dodge Journey wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you think. In the long run, it could actually help you save money. 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. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 2012 Dodge Journey wheel alignment estimate.
