How Does Nissan Maxima Alignment Work?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Nissan Maxima's suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. 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 Nissan intended them to. When your suspension is aligned to Nissan’s optimal measurements, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. 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. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1986 Nissan Maxima, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Nissan’s recommended measurements. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When Should I Get Nissan Maxima Wheel Alignment?

It’s wise to have your Nissan Maxima alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly 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 may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 1986 Nissan Maxima: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or squealing tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Maxima if your wheel alignment needs attention.

How Much Does an Alignment for Nissan Maxima Cost?

On a budget? Nissan Maxima wheel alignment might be more affordable than you think. Over the life of your car, it could help you save on overall costs. Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, so you get more miles out of the same tank of gas and set of tires. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 1986 Nissan Maxima wheel alignment estimate.
