Why Is Dodge Neon Alignment Important?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Dodge Neon's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. When your car has 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 ride is smoother, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. When you bring in your 2002 Dodge Neon, we’ll perform an alignment check first. 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 Neon Wheel Alignment

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Dodge Neon 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 may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2002 Dodge Neon: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your Neon dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

How Much Does an Alignment for Dodge Neon Cost?

Let’s talk numbers: Dodge Neon wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you think. Over the years, it could actually save you money. 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. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs.
