Why Is Mazda 323 Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Mazda 323’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. In 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 Mazda intended them to. When the system is aligned to Mazda specifications, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. As a result, you get several benefits: your ride is smoother, 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 1988 Mazda 323, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Mazda’s recommended measurements. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When to Get Mazda 323 Wheel Alignment

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Mazda 323 alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 1988 Mazda 323: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your 323 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

How Much Does an Alignment for Mazda 323 Cost?

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. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 1988 Mazda 323 wheel alignment estimate.
