How Does Ford Thunderbird Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Ford Thunderbird’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. As a result, you get several benefits: your ride is smoother, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Bring your 1985 Ford Thunderbird in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Ford’s recommended measurements. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When Should I Get Ford Thunderbird Wheel Alignment?

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Ford Thunderbird 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 may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 1985 Ford Thunderbird: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your Thunderbird dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
