How Does GMC Sierra 3500 Alignment Work?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your GMC Sierra 3500’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 your suspension is aligned to GMC’s optimal measurements, 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 2006 GMC Sierra 3500, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match GMC recommendations. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your GMC Sierra 3500

It's a good idea to have your GMC Sierra 3500 alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. 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 3500: pulling to the left or right, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Sierra 3500 if your wheel alignment needs attention.
