Why Is Mitsubishi Montero Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Mitsubishi Montero’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. 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 of your tires experience equal pressure. This gives you several benefits: 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 2002 Mitsubishi Montero, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Mitsubishi. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When to Get Mitsubishi Montero Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Mitsubishi Montero alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your 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 2002 Mitsubishi Montero: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Montero dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
