How Does Pontiac Firebird Alignment Work?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Pontiac Firebird'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 Pontiac intended. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Pontiac specifies for your vehicle, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. As a result, you get several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and your suspension system experiences less strain. When you bring in your 2001 Pontiac Firebird, we’ll perform an alignment check first. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Pontiac’s recommended measurements. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Pontiac Firebird

It’s wise to have your Pontiac Firebird 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 also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2001 Pontiac Firebird: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, excessive wear on only one tire, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Firebird dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
