Why Is Ford F-150 Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Ford F-150’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. When your car has 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 your system is aligned to the measurements that Ford specifies for your vehicle, all of your tires experience equal pressure. This gives you several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, 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 2009 Ford F-150, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. 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.

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