Why Is Jeep Cherokee Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Jeep Cherokee’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. When your car has an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Jeep. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When your suspension is aligned to Jeep’s optimal measurements, all of your tires experience equal pressure. This gives you 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 1986 Jeep Cherokee, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Jeep’s recommended measurements. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When to Get Jeep Cherokee Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Jeep Cherokee alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce 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 1986 Jeep Cherokee: pulling to the left or right, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Cherokee dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does an Alignment for Jeep Cherokee Cost?

Jeep Cherokee 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.
