Why Is Ford F-150 Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Ford F-150’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 suspension is aligned to Ford’s optimal measurements, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. This gives you several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, the lifespan of your tires increases, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Bring your 2005 Ford F-150 in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. 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 to Get Ford F-150 Wheel Alignment

Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your F-150 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
