Wheel Alignment Maintenance - 2005 Volvo XC90

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Volvo XC90's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. During the 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 suspension is aligned to Volvo’s optimal measurements, all of your tires experience equal pressure. This gives you several benefits: your car handles better, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2005 Volvo XC90, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Volvo recommendations. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

It’s wise to have your Volvo XC90 alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 2005 Volvo XC90: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, 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 XC90 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

On a budget? Volvo XC90 wheel alignment might be more affordable than you think. In the long run, it could actually help you save 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. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Call a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care to get an estimate for 2005 Volvo XC90 wheel alignment costs today.
