Why Is Pontiac Sunfire Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Pontiac Sunfire’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. When your car has 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 1998 Pontiac Sunfire, 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.

When Should I Get Pontiac Sunfire Wheel Alignment?

It's a good idea to have your Pontiac Sunfire alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 1998 Pontiac Sunfire: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Sunfire dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
