Why Is Mazda Tribute Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Mazda Tribute’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. When your car has an alignment 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 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: your ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Bring your 2009 Mazda Tribute in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. 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 Tribute

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Mazda Tribute alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. 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 2009 Mazda Tribute: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or tires that squeal frequently. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Tribute dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
