How Does GMC Sierra 1500 Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your GMC Sierra 1500’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: you enjoy a smoother ride, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2002 GMC Sierra 1500, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match GMC recommendations. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When Should I Get GMC Sierra 1500 Wheel Alignment?

It’s wise to have your GMC Sierra 1500 alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed.

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.
