How Does Mitsubishi Lancer Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise 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. As a result, you get several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Bring your 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer 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. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When Should I 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 could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer: pulling to the left or right, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or squealing tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your Lancer dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

Costs for Mitsubishi Lancer Alignment Services

Mitsubishi Lancer wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. Over the years, it could actually save you money. Properly aligned wheels may help increase fuel efficiency and tire lifespan, 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 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer wheel alignment estimate.
