Why Is GMC Sierra 1500 Alignment Important?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your GMC Sierra 1500's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. When your car has an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by GMC. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When the system is aligned to GMC specifications, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. This gives you several benefits: your ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2006 GMC Sierra 1500, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match GMC’s recommended measurements. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your GMC Sierra 1500

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your GMC Sierra 1500 alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2006 GMC Sierra 1500: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Sierra 1500 if your wheel alignment needs attention.
