What Can I Expect with Oldsmobile 88 Alignment?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Oldsmobile 88’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. 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 Oldsmobile intended. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Oldsmobile specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. This gives you several benefits: your car handles better, the lifespan of your tires increases, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1996 Oldsmobile 88, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Oldsmobile. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When to Get Oldsmobile 88 Wheel Alignment

It's a good idea to have your Oldsmobile 88 alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 1996 Oldsmobile 88: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or squealing tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your 88 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 1996 Oldsmobile 88 wheel alignment estimate.
