Why Is Jeep CJ7 Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Jeep CJ7’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. During the 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 four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. Three good things happen as a result: your car handles better, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Bring your 1986 Jeep CJ7 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. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When to Get Jeep CJ7 Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Jeep CJ7 alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 1986 Jeep CJ7: pulling to the left or right, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your CJ7 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
