How Does Ford Mustang Alignment Work?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Ford Mustang's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. In an alignment 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 four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. Three good things happen as a result: your ride is smoother, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. When you bring in your 1987 Ford Mustang, we’ll perform an alignment check first. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Ford recommendations. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Ford Mustang

It's a good idea to have your Ford Mustang alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 1987 Ford Mustang: 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 tires that squeal frequently. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Mustang dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

Costs for Ford Mustang Alignment Services

Let’s talk numbers: Ford Mustang wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you think. In the long run, it could actually help you save money. Correctly aligned wheels can help boost fuel efficiency and increase the lifespan of your tires, so you get more miles out of the same tank of gas and set of tires. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 1987 Ford Mustang wheel alignment estimate.

Ford Mustang Alignment Questions

  • Where's the alignment light on my 1987 Ford Mustang? Pay close attention to changes in your steering.

If you notice a change in how your car handles while driving, call on the techs at Firestone Complete Auto Care to check your Mustang alignment.

  • When should you get a wheel alignment for your Mustang? Typically, your alignment should be checked every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Double-check your Mustang owner’s manual for Ford's exact recommended schedule.
