Wheel Alignment Maintenance - 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Mazda MX-5 Miata'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, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. As a result, you get several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, the lifespan of your tires increases, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata, 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.

It's a good idea to have your Mazda MX-5 Miata alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or squealing tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your MX-5 Miata dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

Mazda MX-5 Miata wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. Over the years, it could actually save you money. 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. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata wheel alignment estimate.
