How Does Honda Accord Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Honda Accord’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. 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 Honda intended. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Honda 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, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. When you bring in your 1986 Honda Accord, we’ll perform an alignment check first. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Honda’s recommended measurements. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When to Get Honda Accord Wheel Alignment

It's a good idea to have your Honda Accord 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 1986 Honda Accord: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Accord dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
