Why Is Mazda 626 Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Mazda 626’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your 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 Mazda intended them to. 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. As a result, you get several benefits: your ride is smoother, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1996 Mazda 626, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Mazda recommendations. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When to Get Mazda 626 Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Mazda 626 alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. 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 1996 Mazda 626: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your 626 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does an Alignment for Mazda 626 Cost?

On a budget? Mazda 626 wheel alignment might be more affordable than you think. Over the life of your car, it could help you save on overall costs. Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, meaning you could get more miles out of the same tires or tank of gas. 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 1996 Mazda 626 wheel alignment costs today.

Mazda 626 Alignment Questions

  • When should I get 1996 Mazda 626 alignment check? 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 626 alignment is off.
  • Are there road conditions that can hurt my Mazda 626 alignment? Potholes and uneven roads can knock your car out of alignment, so stay aware of the road ahead and adjust your speed (or avoid these obstacles whenever it’s safely possible).
  • New tires on your Mazda 626? Did you just have new tires installed on your 626? A wheel alignment can help them wear more evenly from the get-go.
  • How frequently should you get a wheel alignment for your 626? Generally, it’s wise to have your alignment looked at around every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever happens first. You should check your 626 owner’s manual to verify Mazda’s suggested interval.
  • Do you need to get your 626 wheels aligned when you get new tires? You likely aren't required to get an alignment when you put new tires on your 626, but it's a super smart idea! An alignment can help ensure optimal tire wear, fuel efficiency, and handling. Still, you should reference your 626 owner’s manual for what’s recommended.

  • My 626 steering wheel is crooked. Will an alignment fix it? A wheel alignment is usually what it takes to fix a crooked 626 steering wheel.
