How Does Smart Fortwo Alignment Work?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Smart Fortwo's suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. During the service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Smart. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When your suspension is aligned to Smart’s optimal measurements, all of your tires experience equal pressure. Three good things happen as a result: you enjoy a smoother ride, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Bring your 2009 Smart Fortwo 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 Smart’s recommended measurements. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When Should I Get Smart Fortwo Wheel Alignment?

It's a good idea to have your Smart Fortwo alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2009 Smart Fortwo: pulling to the left or right, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or tires that squeal frequently. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Fortwo if your wheel alignment needs attention.

How Much Does an Alignment for Smart Fortwo Cost?

On a budget? Smart Fortwo 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. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs.
