How Does GMC S15 Jimmy Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your GMC S15 Jimmy’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. In an alignment 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 system is aligned to the measurements that GMC specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. Three good things happen as a result: your ride is smoother, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Bring your 1986 GMC S15 Jimmy 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. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When to Get GMC S15 Jimmy Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your GMC S15 Jimmy alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 1986 GMC S15 Jimmy: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, excessive wear on only one tire, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or squealing tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your S15 Jimmy if your wheel alignment needs attention.
