Why Is Toyota RAV4 Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Toyota RAV4’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. During the service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Toyota. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When your suspension is aligned to Toyota’s optimal measurements, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. This gives you several benefits: your ride is smoother, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. When you bring in your 2002 Toyota RAV4, we’ll perform an alignment check first. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Toyota. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When to Get Toyota RAV4 Wheel Alignment

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Toyota RAV4 alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. 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 2002 Toyota RAV4: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your RAV4 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
