Why Is GMC Yukon Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your GMC Yukon’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. In an alignment 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 your system is aligned to the measurements that GMC specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. As a result, you get several benefits: your car handles better, the lifespan of your tires increases, and your suspension system experiences less strain. When you bring in your 1997 GMC Yukon, 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 also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your GMC Yukon

It's a good idea to have your GMC Yukon alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even a small misalignment can decrease 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 1997 GMC Yukon: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, uneven or rapid tire wear, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Yukon if your wheel alignment needs attention.
