How Does Mazda 6 Alignment Work?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Mazda 6’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 Mazda intended. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Mazda 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 significant stress is taken off your suspension system. When you bring in your 2004 Mazda 6, we’ll perform an alignment check first. 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 6 Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Mazda 6 alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly 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 may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2004 Mazda 6: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your 6 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does an Alignment for Mazda 6 Cost?

Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, 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. Call a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care to get an estimate for 2004 Mazda 6 wheel alignment costs today.
