What Can I Expect with Subaru XT Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Subaru XT's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. In an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Subaru. 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 Subaru specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. This gives you several benefits: your ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1988 Subaru XT, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Subaru recommendations. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Subaru XT

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Subaru XT alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease 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 1988 Subaru XT: pulling to the left or right, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your XT dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does an Alignment for Subaru XT Cost?

Subaru XT wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might 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. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Call a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care to get an estimate for 1988 Subaru XT wheel alignment costs today.
