How Does Ford Thunderbird Alignment Work?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Ford Thunderbird's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. In 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, all of your tires experience equal pressure. Three good things happen as a result: your car handles better, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and your suspension system experiences less strain. When you bring in your 1997 Ford Thunderbird, we’ll perform an alignment check first. 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?

It’s wise to have your Ford Thunderbird 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 also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 1997 Ford Thunderbird: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, uneven or rapid tire wear, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your Thunderbird dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

How Much Does an Alignment for Ford Thunderbird Cost?

Ford Thunderbird wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. Over the life of your car, it could help you save on overall costs. 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. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Call a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care to get an estimate for 1997 Ford Thunderbird wheel alignment costs today.
