Why Is Mazda 5 Alignment Important?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Mazda 5's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. During the 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 Mazda intended. When your suspension is aligned to Mazda’s optimal measurements, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. Three good things happen as a result: 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. When you bring in your 2009 Mazda 5, we’ll perform an alignment check first. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Mazda. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Mazda 5

It's a good idea to have your Mazda 5 alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed.

Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your 5 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
