Why Is Ford E-150 Econoline Alignment Important?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Ford E-150 Econoline's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your 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 your system is aligned to the measurements that Ford specifies for your vehicle, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. As a result, you get several benefits: your car handles better, the lifespan of your tires increases, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. When you bring in your 1997 Ford E-150 Econoline, we’ll perform an alignment check first. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Ford recommendations. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When Should I Get Ford E-150 Econoline Wheel Alignment?

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Ford E-150 Econoline alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 1997 Ford E-150 Econoline: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your E-150 Econoline dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
