How Does Peugeot 505 Alignment Work?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Peugeot 505's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. In an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Peugeot. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When the system is aligned to Peugeot specifications, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. Three good things happen as a result: your car handles better, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. When you bring in your 1984 Peugeot 505, we’ll perform an alignment check first. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Peugeot. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Peugeot 505

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Peugeot 505 alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease 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 1984 Peugeot 505: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your 505 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does an Alignment for Peugeot 505 Cost?

Peugeot 505 wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might 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. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 1984 Peugeot 505 wheel alignment estimate.
