How Does Mitsubishi Eclipse Alignment Work?
An alignment involves making adjustments to your Mitsubishi Eclipse'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 Mitsubishi intended. When the system is aligned to Mitsubishi specifications, all of your tires experience equal pressure. This gives you 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 1998 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. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.
How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Mitsubishi Eclipse
It’s wise to have your Mitsubishi Eclipse 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 might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or squealing tires. 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. Correctly aligned wheels can help boost fuel efficiency and increase the lifespan of your tires, 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 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse wheel alignment estimate.
