How Does GMC Sierra 1500 Alignment Work?
With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your GMC Sierra 1500’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 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, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Bring your 1999 GMC Sierra 1500 in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match GMC’s recommended measurements. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.
When to Get GMC Sierra 1500 Wheel Alignment
To keep your suspension in good shape, have your GMC Sierra 1500 alignment checked about 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 might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 1999 GMC Sierra 1500: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your Sierra 1500 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
