Why Is GMC Safari Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your GMC Safari’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your 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 your system is aligned to the measurements that GMC specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. This gives you several benefits: your ride is smoother, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. When you bring in your 1987 GMC Safari, we’ll perform an alignment check first. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from GMC. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When to Get GMC Safari Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your GMC Safari 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 lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 1987 GMC Safari: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your Safari dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
