Why does my 2001 Ford Escape steering feel different?

Pay close attention to changes in your steering. There is no 'alignment light' on your dashboard, so it’s up to you to stay ahead of misalignment. If you notice a change in how your car handles while driving, call on the techs at Firestone Complete Auto Care to check your Escape alignment.

Are there road conditions that can hurt my Ford Escape alignment?

Potholes and uneven roads can knock your car out of alignment, so stay aware of the road ahead and adjust your speed (or avoid these obstacles whenever it’s safely possible).

New tires on your Ford Escape?

Did you just have new tires installed on your Escape? A wheel alignment can help them wear more evenly from the get-go.

When should you get a wheel alignment for your Escape?

Typically, your alignment should be checked every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Double-check your Escape owner’s manual for Ford's exact recommended schedule.

Do you need to get your Escape wheels aligned when you get new tires?

You likely aren't required to get an alignment when you put new tires on your Escape, but it's a super smart idea! An alignment can help ensure optimal tire wear, fuel efficiency, and handling. Still, you should reference your Escape owner’s manual for what’s recommended.

My Escape steering wheel is crooked. Will an alignment fix it?

How Does Ford Escape Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Ford Escape’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 of your tires experience equal pressure. As a result, you get several benefits: your car handles better, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Bring your 2001 Ford Escape in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Ford’s recommended measurements. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When to Get Ford Escape Wheel Alignment

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Ford Escape alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2001 Ford Escape: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your Escape dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

How Much Does an Alignment for Ford Escape Cost?

On a budget? Ford Escape wheel alignment might be more affordable than you think. Over the life of your car, it could help you save on overall costs. Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, meaning you could get more miles out of the same tires or tank of gas. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs.
