How Does Ford Taurus Alignment Work?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Ford Taurus'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 system is aligned to the measurements that Ford specifies for your vehicle, 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 your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1996 Ford Taurus, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. 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.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Ford Taurus

It’s wise to have your Ford Taurus alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease 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 1996 Ford Taurus: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, 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 Taurus dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

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

Ford Taurus wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. In the long run, it could actually help you save money. Properly aligned wheels may help increase fuel efficiency and tire lifespan, so you get more miles out of the same tank of gas and set of tires. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Call a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care to get an estimate for 1996 Ford Taurus wheel alignment costs today.
