9 common questions answered
How often should I get an alignment on my 2013 Chevrolet Cruze?
Every 2–3 years or 30,000 miles is the general interval for a 2013 Chevrolet Cruze four-wheel alignment.
Utah’s freeze–thaw cycles, construction zones, and canyon drives can nudge angles out of spec sooner. Also recheck after suspension or steering work so the alignment holds. Our Murray service team can inspect and advise during tire service or routine maintenance—use our online tool to schedule service and check service specials.
- After hitting a major pothole or curb
- After installing steering or suspension parts
- When you notice uneven tire wear
What are the signs my 2013 Chevrolet Cruze needs an alignment?
Four clear signs are uneven tire wear, pulling left/right, an off-center steering wheel, and vibration at speed.
The front-wheel-drive 2013 Chevrolet Cruze is sensitive to toe and camber changes from potholes and curb strikes common around Salt Lake County. If the steering wheel isn’t straight on a level road or the car drifts on I‑15, it’s time to have measurements taken and corrected to Chevrolet spec.
- Inspect tread for feathering or edge wear
- Steering wheel not centered when driving straight
- Vehicle drifts despite proper tire pressure

How do I know if my 2013 Chevrolet Cruze alignment problem needs more than just an alignment?
If any of 3 parts—tie rods, ball joints, or struts—are worn, the alignment wont hold and parts should be replaced first.
Our technicians in Murray check for play, leaks, and impact damage before adjusting angles. Worn components from potholes or curb hits can cause rapid tire wear if left unaddressed. Well document findings and provide options so you can decide next steps, then align to Chevrolet spec after repairs.
- Free-play in inner/outer tie rods
- Leaking or loose struts and mounts
- Bent wheel or control arm after an impact
Is an alignment worth it if my car tracks straight?
No—if your Cruze tracks straight with even tire wear, wait for symptoms and plan checks every 2–3 years or 30,000 miles.
Alignments arent required at every rotation, but they do prevent premature tire wear and improve steering feel when angles drift. Recheck after suspension work or a hard pothole hit around Murray. If youre unsure, we can measure angles and only adjust if theyre out of spec.
- Align after steering/suspension replacement
- Address inside/outside edge wear early
- Measure first; adjust only if needed
