What Can I Expect with Ford Mustang Alignment?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Ford Mustang’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your 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 your suspension is aligned to Ford’s optimal measurements, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. As a result, you get 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. When you bring in your 1997 Ford Mustang, we’ll perform an alignment check first. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Ford. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When Should I Get Ford Mustang Wheel Alignment?

It's a good idea to have your Ford Mustang alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your 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 1997 Ford Mustang: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Mustang dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
