How Does Mitsubishi Galant Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Mitsubishi Galant’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. When your car has an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Mitsubishi. 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 Mitsubishi specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. Three good things happen as a result: your car handles better, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2006 Mitsubishi Galant, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. 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 Galant

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Mitsubishi Galant 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 need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2006 Mitsubishi Galant: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Galant if your wheel alignment needs attention.

Costs for Mitsubishi Galant Alignment Services

Mitsubishi Galant 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, so you can fill up less often, plus get more miles out of your tires. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs.
