How Does Hyundai Elantra Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Hyundai Elantra’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. During the service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Hyundai intended them to. When the system is aligned to Hyundai specifications, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. As a result, you get several benefits: your car handles better, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2018 Hyundai Elantra, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Hyundai. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When to Get Hyundai Elantra Wheel Alignment

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Hyundai Elantra alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2018 Hyundai Elantra: pulling to the left or right, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Elantra dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

Costs for Hyundai Elantra Alignment Services

Hyundai Elantra wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. Over the years, it could actually save you 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. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 2018 Hyundai Elantra wheel alignment estimate.

Hyundai Elantra Alignment Questions

  • Why does my 2018 Hyundai Elantra steering feel different? Don't wait for an 'alignment light' on your dashboard. There isn't one. Getting a professional alignment check is the easiest way to know if your Elantra alignment is off.
  • How can I avoid knocking my Hyundai Elantra out of alignment? Potholes and uneven roads can knock your car out of alignment, so stay aware of the road ahead and adjust your speed (or avoid these obstacles whenever it’s safely possible).
  • New tires on your Hyundai Elantra? Keep new tires in excellent condition with a wheel alignment. Help them wear evenly from the start with a wheel alignment at the time of installation.
  • How often should you get a wheel alignment for your Elantra? Check your Elantra owner's manual for Hyundai's recommended interval. It's generally a good idea to check your alignment every 6,000 miles or 6 months, depending on which comes first.
  • Does getting new Elantra tires mean you need an alignment? It’s likely not a requirement to get an alignment when you install new tires on your Elantra, but it's a smart idea to do so anyway. An alignment can help ensure even tire wear, smooth handling, and better fuel efficiency.
