How Does Ford F-150 Alignment Work?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Ford F-150’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. During the service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Ford intended them to. When your suspension is aligned to Ford’s optimal measurements, all of your tires experience equal pressure. This gives you several benefits: 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 1988 Ford F-150, 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.

When Should I Get Ford F-150 Wheel Alignment?

It's a good idea to have your Ford F-150 alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed.

Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your F-150 if your wheel alignment needs attention.
