Why Is Ford Ranger Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Ford Ranger’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. When your car has 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 the system is aligned to Ford specifications, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. As a result, you get several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, the lifespan of your tires increases, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2005 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 also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Ford Ranger

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 over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 2005 Ford Ranger: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your Ranger dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
