What Can I Expect with Scion xB Alignment?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Scion xB’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. 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 Scion intended. When the system is aligned to Scion specifications, all of your tires experience equal pressure. Three good things happen as a result: your ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Bring your 2005 Scion xB 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 Scion’s recommended measurements. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When Should I Get Scion xB Wheel Alignment?

It’s wise to have your Scion xB alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2005 Scion xB: 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 noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your xB dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
