What Can I Expect with Ford Ranger Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Ford Ranger'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 the system is aligned to Ford specifications, all of your tires experience equal pressure. Three good things happen as a result: your car handles better, the lifespan of your tires increases, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2000 Ford Ranger, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. 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 Ranger Wheel Alignment

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Ford Ranger alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 2000 Ford Ranger: pulling to the left or right, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Ranger dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does an Alignment for Ford Ranger Cost?

Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs.
