Why Is GMC K1500 Alignment Important?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your GMC K1500's suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. During the 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 GMC intended them to. When the system is aligned to GMC specifications, all of your tires experience equal pressure. As a result, you get several benefits: your car handles better, the lifespan of your tires increases, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. When you bring in your 1990 GMC K1500, we’ll perform an alignment check first. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match GMC recommendations. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When to Get GMC K1500 Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your GMC K1500 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 cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 1990 GMC K1500: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your K1500 if your wheel alignment needs attention.
