What Can I Expect with Volvo 245 Alignment?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Volvo 245’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. 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 Volvo intended. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Volvo specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. Three good things happen as a result: you enjoy a smoother ride, the lifespan of your tires increases, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1989 Volvo 245, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Volvo. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When Should I Get Volvo 245 Wheel Alignment?

It's a good idea to have your Volvo 245 alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. 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 1989 Volvo 245: pulling to the left or right, uneven or rapid tire wear, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your 245 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 1989 Volvo 245 wheel alignment estimate.
