Why Is Honda Prelude Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Honda Prelude’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. During the service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Honda. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When the system is aligned to Honda specifications, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. As a result, you get several benefits: your ride is smoother, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Bring your 1996 Honda Prelude in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Honda. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When Should I Get Honda Prelude Wheel Alignment?

It's a good idea to have your Honda Prelude 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 1996 Honda Prelude: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or squealing tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Prelude if your wheel alignment needs attention.

Costs for Honda Prelude Alignment Services

On a budget? Honda Prelude wheel alignment might be more affordable than you think. In the long run, it could actually help you save money. Correctly aligned wheels can help boost fuel efficiency and increase the lifespan of your tires, meaning you could get more miles out of the same tires or tank of gas. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 1996 Honda Prelude wheel alignment estimate.
