Why Is Jeep Cherokee Alignment Important?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Jeep Cherokee's suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. In 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: you enjoy a smoother ride, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1989 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 Should I Get Jeep Cherokee Wheel Alignment?

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Jeep Cherokee 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 1989 Jeep Cherokee: pulling to the left or right, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Cherokee dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My Jeep Cherokee?

On a budget? Jeep Cherokee wheel alignment might be more affordable than you think. Over the years, it could actually save you money.

Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Call a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care to get an estimate for 1989 Jeep Cherokee wheel alignment costs today.
