How Does GMC Sierra 1500 HD Alignment Work?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your GMC Sierra 1500 HD's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. During the service, calculated changes are made to the angles of your tires. This is so that your tires hit the road at an optimal angle for your vehicle’s performance — just as GMC intended. When the system is aligned to GMC specifications, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. This gives you several benefits: your ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. When you bring in your 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 HD, we’ll perform an alignment check first. 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 Should I Get GMC Sierra 1500 HD Wheel Alignment?

It's a good idea to have your GMC Sierra 1500 HD alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. 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 might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 HD: pulling to the left or right, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Sierra 1500 HD dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My GMC Sierra 1500 HD?

GMC Sierra 1500 HD wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. In the long run, it could actually help you save money. Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, so you get more miles out of the same tank of gas and set of tires. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs.
