What Can I Expect with Jeep Cherokee Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Jeep Cherokee'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 Jeep intended them to. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Jeep specifies for your vehicle, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. Three good things happen as a result: your car handles better, 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 1996 Jeep Cherokee, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Jeep. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When to Get Jeep Cherokee Wheel Alignment

It's a good idea to have your Jeep Cherokee alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 1996 Jeep Cherokee: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, uneven or rapid tire wear, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your Cherokee dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

On a budget? Jeep Cherokee wheel alignment might be more affordable than you think. Over the life of your car, it could help you save on overall costs. Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, so you get more miles out of the same tank of gas and set of tires. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 1996 Jeep Cherokee wheel alignment estimate.

Questions About Jeep Cherokee Alignment

  • Where's the alignment light on my 1996 Jeep Cherokee? Pay close attention to changes in your steering. There is no 'alignment light' on your dashboard, so it’s up to you to stay ahead of misalignment. If you notice a change in how your car handles while driving, call on the techs at Firestone Complete Auto Care to check your Cherokee alignment.
  • What can knock my Jeep Cherokee 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 Jeep Cherokee? 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.
  • When should you get a wheel alignment for your Cherokee? Typically, your alignment should be checked every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Double-check your Cherokee owner’s manual for Jeep's exact recommended schedule.
  • Does getting new Cherokee tires mean you need an alignment? While you don’t necessarily need to get an alignment when putting new tires on your Cherokee, it’s still a good idea. Ensuring your wheels are properly aligned can help support optimal handling, tire wear, and fuel efficiency.

  • Can an alignment solve my Cherokee’s crooked steering wheel? A wheel alignment is usually what it takes to fix a crooked Cherokee steering wheel. When the wheels are not properly aligned, they can cause the car to pull to one side, which can also cause the steering wheel to become crooked while you're driving straight down the road.
