What Can I Expect with Ford Tempo Alignment?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Ford Tempo’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. 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 your suspension is aligned to Ford’s optimal measurements, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. This gives you several benefits: your ride is smoother, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. When you bring in your 1987 Ford Tempo, we’ll perform an alignment check first. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Ford’s recommended measurements. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Ford Tempo

It’s wise to have your Ford Tempo alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly 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 may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 1987 Ford Tempo: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or squealing tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your Tempo 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 Tempo?

Ford Tempo wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. Over the years, it could actually save you money. Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, so you can fill up less often, plus get more miles out of your tires. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 1987 Ford Tempo wheel alignment estimate.

Answers to Ford Tempo Alignment Questions

  • Where's the alignment light on my 1987 Ford Tempo? Pay close attention to changes in your steering. There is no 'alignment light' on your dashboard, so it’s up to you to stay ahead of misalignment. If you notice a change in how your car handles while driving, call on the techs at Firestone Complete Auto Care to check your Tempo alignment.
  • How can I avoid knocking my Ford Tempo out of alignment? Potholes and uneven roads can knock your car out of alignment, so stay aware of the road ahead and adjust your speed (or avoid these obstacles whenever it’s safely possible).
  • New tires on your Ford Tempo? Did you just have new tires installed on your Tempo? A wheel alignment can help them wear more evenly from the get-go.
