How Does Dodge Journey Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Dodge Journey’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. During the 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. Three good things happen as a result: your ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2017 Dodge Journey, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. 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 Should I Get Dodge Journey Wheel Alignment?

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Dodge Journey alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2017 Dodge Journey: 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. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Journey if your wheel alignment needs attention.

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

Dodge Journey wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. In the long run, it could actually help you save money. Properly aligned wheels may help increase fuel efficiency and tire lifespan, so you get more miles out of the same tank of gas and set of tires. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 2017 Dodge Journey wheel alignment estimate.
