What Can I Expect with GMC S15 Alignment?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your GMC S15’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. 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 four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. As a result, you get several benefits: your ride is smoother, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Bring your 1987 GMC S15 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.

When Should I Get GMC S15 Wheel Alignment?

It’s wise to have your GMC S15 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 1987 GMC S15: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your S15 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
