How Does Hyundai Sonata Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Hyundai Sonata’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. 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 your suspension is aligned to Hyundai’s optimal measurements, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. This gives you several benefits: your car handles better, the lifespan of your tires increases, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Bring your 1997 Hyundai Sonata in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Hyundai recommendations. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Hyundai Sonata

It's a good idea to have your Hyundai Sonata alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your 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 1997 Hyundai Sonata: 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 tires that squeal frequently. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Sonata dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does an Alignment for Hyundai Sonata Cost?

Let’s talk numbers: Hyundai Sonata wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly 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, so you can fill up less often, plus get more miles out of your tires. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 1997 Hyundai Sonata wheel alignment estimate.
