How Does Ford Bronco Alignment Work?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Ford Bronco’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. In an alignment 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 Ford intended. When the system is aligned to Ford specifications, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. Three good things happen as a result: your ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. When you bring in your 1986 Ford Bronco, we’ll perform an alignment check first. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Ford. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Ford Bronco

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Ford Bronco alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 1986 Ford Bronco: pulling to the left or right, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or squealing tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Bronco if your wheel alignment needs attention.
