What Can I Expect with Mitsubishi Eclipse Alignment?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Mitsubishi Eclipse’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 Mitsubishi intended them to. When the system is aligned to Mitsubishi specifications, all of your tires experience equal pressure. Three good things happen as a result: your car handles better, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Mitsubishi. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When to Get Mitsubishi Eclipse Wheel Alignment

It's a good idea to have your Mitsubishi Eclipse alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce 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 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your Eclipse dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

How Much Does an Alignment for Mitsubishi Eclipse Cost?

Mitsubishi Eclipse wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. In the long run, it could actually help you save 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. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse wheel alignment estimate.
