How Does Dodge W150 Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Dodge W150’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. In an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Dodge. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. 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: you enjoy a smoother ride, the lifespan of your tires increases, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1986 Dodge W150, 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.

When to Get Dodge W150 Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Dodge W150 alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 1986 Dodge W150: pulling to the left or right, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or squealing tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your W150 if your wheel alignment needs attention.

How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My Dodge W150?

On a budget? Dodge W150 wheel alignment might be more affordable than you think. In the long run, it could actually help you save 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. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Call a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care to get an estimate for 1986 Dodge W150 wheel alignment costs today.
