Why does my 2006 Saturn Ion steering feel different?

Pay close attention to changes in your steering. There is no 'alignment light' on your dashboard, so it’s up to you to stay ahead of misalignment. If you notice a change in how your car handles while driving, call on the techs at Firestone Complete Auto Care to check your Ion alignment.

How can I avoid knocking my Saturn Ion out of alignment?

Potholes and uneven roads can knock your car out of alignment, so stay aware of the road ahead and adjust your speed (or avoid these obstacles whenever it’s safely possible).

I just bought new Saturn Ion tires. Do I need an alignment?

Protect your investment with a wheel alignment. No one wants to replace tires sooner than necessary. Help your new tires wear evenly from day one, with a wheel alignment.

How frequently should you get a wheel alignment for your Ion?

Typically, your alignment should be checked every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Double-check your Ion owner’s manual for Saturn's exact recommended schedule.

Do you need to get your Ion wheels aligned when you get new tires?

My Ion steering wheel is crooked. Will an alignment fix it?

Why Is Saturn Ion Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Saturn Ion’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the 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 Saturn intended. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Saturn specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. As a result, you get several benefits: your ride is smoother, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Bring your 2006 Saturn Ion in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Saturn’s recommended measurements. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When to Get Saturn Ion Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Saturn Ion alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your 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 2006 Saturn Ion: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Ion dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My Saturn Ion?

On a budget? Saturn Ion wheel alignment might be more affordable than you think. Over the years, it could actually save you money. Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, so you can fill up less often, plus get more miles out of your tires. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 2006 Saturn Ion wheel alignment estimate.
