What Can I Expect with Ford Ranger Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Ford Ranger's suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. During the 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 your system is aligned to the measurements that Ford specifies for your vehicle, all of your tires experience equal pressure. Three good things happen as a result: 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 2009 Ford Ranger, we’ll perform an alignment check first. 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

It's a good idea to have your Ford Ranger alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2009 Ford Ranger: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, excessive wear on only one tire, a crooked steering wheel when 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.

How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My Ford Ranger?

Let’s talk numbers: Ford Ranger wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you think. In the long run, it could actually help you save money. Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, meaning you could get more miles out of the same tires or tank of gas. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs.
