How Does Pontiac Grand Am Alignment Work?
With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Pontiac Grand Am’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your 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 Pontiac intended. When the system is aligned to Pontiac specifications, 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 significant stress is taken off your suspension system. When you bring in your 1998 Pontiac Grand Am, we’ll perform an alignment check first. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Pontiac recommendations. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.
When to Get Pontiac Grand Am Wheel Alignment
It's a good idea to have your Pontiac Grand Am alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your 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 1998 Pontiac Grand Am: pulling to the left or right, excessive wear on only one tire, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your Grand Am dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My Pontiac Grand Am?

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 1998 Pontiac Grand Am wheel alignment estimate.
