What Can I Expect with Mazda Protege5 Alignment?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Mazda Protege5’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. During the service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Mazda. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When your suspension is aligned to Mazda’s optimal measurements, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. This gives you 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 2003 Mazda Protege5, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Mazda recommendations. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Mazda Protege5

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Mazda Protege5 alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce 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 2003 Mazda Protege5: pulling to the left or right, uneven or rapid tire wear, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your Protege5 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
