2016 Hyundai Sonata Plug-in Hybrid Alignment: Specs & Service

An inspection can identify conditions that affect alignment before tire wear becomes more severe.

Miller Hyundai Peoria can measure the current angles before recommending an adjustment.

• Inspect steering and suspension every 15,000 miles.
• Check alignment after noticeable pothole impacts or suspension work.

Wheels outside the manufacturer's specification can scrub the tires as the sedan rolls, reducing even tread contact.

Miller Hyundai Peoria includes inspection of tires, steering, and suspension components that could affect the result.

• Vehicle pulls left or right on a flat road.
• Steering wheel is not centered while driving straight.
• One edge of a tire wears faster than the other.

The service starts with an inspection of the tires, steering, and suspension for wear that could hold the alignment out of specification. Current angles are measured against factory specifications before any adjustment recommendation is made. This approach helps distinguish an alignment correction from a component condition that needs attention first.

• Measure camber, caster, and toe on all four wheels.
• Inspect tires, steering, and suspension components.

You receive information about the measured condition before deciding on additional work.

• Inspect steering and suspension components for wear.
