Why Is Mitsubishi Eclipse Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise 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, 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 four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. Three good things happen as a result: your car handles better, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Bring your 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Mitsubishi recommendations. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Mitsubishi Eclipse

It's a good idea to have your Mitsubishi Eclipse alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your 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 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Eclipse dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My Mitsubishi Eclipse?

Mitsubishi Eclipse wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. In the long run, it could actually help you save money. Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, meaning you could get more miles out of the same tires or tank of gas. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse wheel alignment estimate.
