Why Is GMC Sierra 1500 Alignment Important?

An alignment involves making adjustments 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, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. Three good things happen as a result: you enjoy a smoother ride, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Bring your 2009 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. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When to Get GMC Sierra 1500 Wheel Alignment

It's a good idea to have your GMC Sierra 1500 alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2009 GMC Sierra 1500: pulling to the left or right, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Sierra 1500 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
