What Can I Expect with Saturn SW1 Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Saturn SW1's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. When your car has an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Saturn. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. 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. Three good things happen as a result: you enjoy a smoother ride, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1997 Saturn SW1, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. 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.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Saturn SW1

It's a good idea to have your Saturn SW1 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 1997 Saturn SW1: pulling to the left or right, uneven or rapid tire wear, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your SW1 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
