Why Is Kia Optima Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Kia Optima’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the 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 Kia intended them to. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Kia specifies for your vehicle, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. This gives you several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, the lifespan of your tires increases, and your suspension system experiences less strain. When you bring in your 2002 Kia Optima, we’ll perform an alignment check first. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Kia. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When to Get Kia Optima Wheel Alignment

It's a good idea to have your Kia Optima alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your 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 2002 Kia Optima: pulling to the left or right, excessive wear on only one tire, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Optima if your wheel alignment needs attention.

How Much Does an Alignment for Kia Optima Cost?

Kia Optima wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. Over the years, it could actually save you money. Properly aligned wheels may help increase fuel efficiency and tire lifespan, so you can fill up less often, plus get more miles out of your tires. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 2002 Kia Optima wheel alignment estimate.
