How Does GMC Sonoma Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your GMC Sonoma’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. 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 your system is aligned to the measurements that GMC specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. Three good things happen as a result: your car handles better, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Bring your 2002 GMC Sonoma 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 Sonoma Wheel Alignment

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your GMC Sonoma 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 may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2002 GMC Sonoma: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your Sonoma dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
