Why Is Dodge Journey Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Dodge Journey’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. 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 suspension is aligned to Dodge’s optimal measurements, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. As a result, you get several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2018 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 also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Dodge Journey

It’s wise to have your Dodge Journey alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce 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 2018 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. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Journey dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

Costs for Dodge Journey Alignment Services

Let’s talk numbers: Dodge Journey wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you think. Over the life of your car, it could help you save on overall costs. Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, so you get more miles out of the same tank of gas and set of tires. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 2018 Dodge Journey wheel alignment estimate.
