How Does GMC K1500 Suburban Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your GMC K1500 Suburban’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. During the service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by GMC. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When your suspension is aligned to GMC’s optimal measurements, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. As a result, you get several benefits: your car handles better, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Bring your 1996 GMC K1500 Suburban in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from GMC. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your K1500 Suburban dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
