Why does my 1985 Porsche 911 steering feel different?

How often does your 911 need a wheel alignment?

Generally, it’s wise to have your alignment looked at around every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever happens first. You should check your 911 owner’s manual to verify Porsche’s suggested interval.

What Can I Expect with Porsche 911 Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Porsche 911's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. In an alignment service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Porsche intended them to. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Porsche specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. Three good things happen as a result: your ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1985 Porsche 911, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Porsche recommendations. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When Should I Get Porsche 911 Wheel Alignment?

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Porsche 911 alignment checked about 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 might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 1985 Porsche 911: pulling to the left or right, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or squealing tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your 911 if your wheel alignment needs attention.

How Much Does an Alignment for Porsche 911 Cost?

On a budget? Porsche 911 wheel alignment might be more affordable than you think. Over the years, it could actually save you money. Properly aligned wheels may help increase fuel efficiency and tire lifespan, 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. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 1985 Porsche 911 wheel alignment estimate.
