Why Is Ford Windstar Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Ford Windstar’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your 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 the system is aligned to Ford specifications, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. This gives you several benefits: your car handles better, the lifespan of your tires increases, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2002 Ford Windstar, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Ford. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When to Get Ford Windstar Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Ford Windstar alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on 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 2002 Ford Windstar: 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 squealing tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Windstar if your wheel alignment needs attention.

Costs for Ford Windstar Alignment Services

Let’s talk numbers: Ford Windstar wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you think. In the long run, it could actually help you save money. Correctly aligned wheels can help boost fuel efficiency and increase the lifespan of your tires, so you can fill up less often, plus get more miles out of your tires. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 2002 Ford Windstar wheel alignment estimate.
