Hello,
Does anyone know how often I need to have a wheel alignment for
a 2000 acura TL with 184,000 miles.

Is this for front or rear or both.

Also, I do not see wheel alignment in the owner's manual.


Thank

 

Get one whenever your car starts to pull, or if you notice uneven tread wear despite proper inflation.

I would just get a lifetime alignment from Firestone, and go every other oil change. I think a regular alignment is $80, and a lifetime is $120. Pays for itself pretty quick.

You really only need a front alignment.

 

I'm unsure of how long you've owned the TL, but depending on tire wear and recent suspension work......I'd suggest a four wheel alignment to assure that everything is in good working order. If your car is able to steer straight ahead on a good road when you take your hands off the steering wheel, It's not really bad. I normally do an alignment after new tires or any repairs that may affect the alignment. At 184k, your car is going to show some wear and potentially a bit of play, due to age or lack of maintenance. Be careful, as some shops will find all kinds of problems to jack up their repair bill, beyond a normal alignment. Good luck, I hope this has helped you !
