What Can I Expect with GMC Sierra 3500 Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your GMC Sierra 3500's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. During the service, calculated changes are made to the angles of your tires. This is so that your tires hit the road at an optimal angle for your vehicle’s performance — just as GMC intended. When the system is aligned to GMC specifications, all of your tires experience equal pressure. Three good things happen as a result: you enjoy a smoother ride, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. When you bring in your 2004 GMC Sierra 3500, we’ll perform an alignment check first. 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 Should I Get GMC Sierra 3500 Wheel Alignment?

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your GMC Sierra 3500 alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle.

Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Sierra 3500 if your wheel alignment needs attention.
