How Does Suzuki Sidekick Alignment Work?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Suzuki Sidekick's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your 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 Suzuki intended. When the system is aligned to Suzuki specifications, all of your tires experience equal pressure. As a result, you get several benefits: your car handles better, 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 1996 Suzuki Sidekick, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Suzuki. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.
