How often should I get an alignment on my 2026 Hyundai Sonata in Albuquerque?
Every 2–3 years or about every 30,000 miles is a practical alignment interval for a 2026 Hyundai Sonata.

2026 Hyundai Sonata Alignment Specifications
The 2026 Hyundai Sonata responds best when caster, camber, and toe are returned to factory references for both axles. Front camber and toe are adjusted to balance tire contact and stability, while caster helps steering return-to-center. Rear camber and toe set the car’s thrust line so the vehicle tracks straight and the steering wheel sits true. We use Hyundai-friendly alignment equipment and follow OEM procedures to protect ride quality and prevent premature tire wear. If impacts or worn components have pushed angles out of range, we’ll correct those first, then fine-tune angles to spec. Bring your 2026 Hyundai Sonata to Larry H.
