Why Is Mitsubishi Lancer Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Mitsubishi Lancer’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. During the 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 your system is aligned to the measurements that Mitsubishi specifies for your vehicle, all of your tires experience equal pressure. As a result, you get several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and your suspension system experiences less strain. When you bring in your 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer, we’ll perform an alignment check first. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Mitsubishi. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When to Get Mitsubishi Lancer Wheel Alignment

It's a good idea to have your Mitsubishi Lancer alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed. You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer: 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 noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Lancer if your wheel alignment needs attention.

How Much Does an Alignment for Mitsubishi Lancer Cost?

Let’s talk numbers: Mitsubishi Lancer wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you think. Over the years, it could actually save you money. Correctly aligned wheels can help boost fuel efficiency and increase the lifespan of your tires, meaning you could get more miles out of the same tires or tank of gas. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer wheel alignment estimate.
