How Does Jeep Cherokee Alignment Work?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Jeep Cherokee’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. When your car has an alignment 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 suspension is aligned to Jeep’s optimal measurements, all of your tires experience equal pressure. This gives you several benefits: your car handles better, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Bring your 1998 Jeep Cherokee in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. 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?

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 over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 1998 Jeep Cherokee: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Cherokee if your wheel alignment needs attention.

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

Let’s talk numbers: Jeep Cherokee wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you think. Over the life of your car, it could help you save on overall costs. Correctly aligned wheels can help boost fuel efficiency and increase the lifespan of your tires, so you get more miles out of the same tank of gas and set of tires. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs.
