How Does Jeep Grand Cherokee Alignment Work?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Jeep Grand Cherokee’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. When your car has an alignment service, calculated changes are made to the angles of your tires. This is so that your tires hit the road at an optimal angle for your vehicle’s performance — just as Jeep intended. When the system is aligned to Jeep specifications, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. 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 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Jeep recommendations. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When Should I Get Jeep Grand Cherokee Wheel Alignment?

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Jeep Grand Cherokee alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed. You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your Grand Cherokee dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
