How Does Ford Escort Alignment Work?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Ford Escort’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. In an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Ford. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When the system is aligned to Ford specifications, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. As a result, you get several benefits: your ride is smoother, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1991 Ford Escort, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Ford’s recommended measurements. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When to Get Ford Escort Wheel Alignment

It's a good idea to have your Ford Escort alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 1991 Ford Escort: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Escort dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
