Why Is Hyundai Elantra Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Hyundai Elantra’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. When your car has 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 Hyundai intended. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Hyundai specifies for your vehicle, all of your tires experience equal pressure. As a result, you get several benefits: your car handles better, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1998 Hyundai Elantra, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Hyundai’s recommended measurements. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When Should I Get Hyundai Elantra Wheel Alignment?

It's a good idea to have your Hyundai Elantra alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 1998 Hyundai Elantra: pulling to the left or right, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Elantra dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My Hyundai Elantra?

Hyundai Elantra wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. Over the years, it could actually save you money. Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, meaning you could get more miles out of the same tires or tank of gas. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 1998 Hyundai Elantra wheel alignment estimate.

Hyundai Elantra Alignment Questions
