What Can I Expect with Mitsubishi Lancer Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Mitsubishi Lancer's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. In 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 your system is aligned to the measurements that Mitsubishi specifies for your vehicle, all of your tires experience equal pressure. This gives you several benefits: your car handles better, the lifespan of your tires increases, and your suspension system experiences less strain. When you bring in your 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer, we’ll perform an alignment check first. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Mitsubishi’s recommended measurements. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When to Get Mitsubishi Lancer Wheel Alignment

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Mitsubishi Lancer alignment checked about 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 may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer: pulling to the left or right, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Lancer if your wheel alignment needs attention.
