How Does GMC S15 Jimmy Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your GMC S15 Jimmy’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the 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 the system is aligned to GMC specifications, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. This gives you several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, the lifespan of your tires increases, and your suspension system experiences less strain. When you bring in your 1987 GMC S15 Jimmy, we’ll perform an alignment check first. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match GMC recommendations. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.
