What Can I Expect with Kia Sorento Alignment?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Kia Sorento’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your 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 Kia intended. 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: your ride is smoother, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and your suspension system experiences less strain. When you bring in your 2003 Kia Sorento, we’ll perform an alignment check first. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Kia. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When to Get Kia Sorento Wheel Alignment

It's a good idea to have your Kia Sorento 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 need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2003 Kia Sorento: pulling to the left or right, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your Sorento dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

Costs for Kia Sorento Alignment Services

Kia Sorento wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. Over the life of your car, it could help you save on overall costs. Properly aligned wheels may help increase fuel efficiency and tire lifespan, so you get more miles out of the same tank of gas and set of tires. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 2003 Kia Sorento wheel alignment estimate.

Kia Sorento Alignment Questions

  • Why does my 2003 Kia Sorento steering feel different? Don't wait for an 'alignment light' on your dashboard. There isn't one. Getting a professional alignment check is the easiest way to know if your Sorento alignment is off.
  • What can knock my Kia Sorento out of alignment? When it’s safe to do so, avoid driving over potholes or hitting curbs. These road obstacles can wreak havoc on your wheel alignment, as can wear and tear from rough road conditions.
  • New tires on your Kia Sorento? 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.
  • How frequently should you get a wheel alignment for your Sorento? Typically, your alignment should be checked every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Double-check your Sorento owner’s manual for Kia's exact recommended schedule.
  • Does getting new Sorento tires mean you need an alignment? It’s likely not a requirement to get an alignment when you install new tires on your Sorento, but it's a smart idea to do so anyway. An alignment can help ensure even tire wear, smooth handling, and better fuel efficiency.

  • My Sorento steering wheel is crooked. Will an alignment fix it? A wheel alignment is usually what it takes to fix a crooked Sorento steering wheel.
