Why Is Dodge Stratus Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Dodge Stratus’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. In an alignment service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Dodge intended them to. When your suspension is aligned to Dodge’s optimal measurements, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. This gives you several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, the lifespan of your tires increases, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Bring your 1997 Dodge Stratus 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 also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When Should I Get Dodge Stratus Wheel Alignment?

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Dodge Stratus alignment checked about 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 need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 1997 Dodge Stratus: pulling to the left or right, uneven or rapid tire wear, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Stratus dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

Dodge Stratus 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 can fill up less often, plus get more miles out of your tires. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 1997 Dodge Stratus wheel alignment estimate.
