What Can I Expect with GMC Sierra 1500 Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your GMC Sierra 1500's suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. When your car has an alignment 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, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. Three good things happen as a result: your ride is smoother, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2005 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. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When Should I 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. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce 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 2005 GMC Sierra 1500: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, 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.
