How Does Mercury Capri Alignment Work?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Mercury Capri’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. During the service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Mercury. 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 Mercury specifies for your vehicle, all of your tires experience equal pressure. This gives you several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Bring your 1986 Mercury Capri 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 Mercury’s recommended measurements. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Mercury Capri

It's a good idea to have your Mercury Capri alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. 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 also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 1986 Mercury Capri: pulling to the left or right, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Capri if your wheel alignment needs attention.

How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My Mercury Capri?

On a budget? Mercury Capri wheel alignment might be more affordable than you think. Over the years, it could actually save you money. Properly aligned wheels may help increase fuel efficiency and tire lifespan, 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. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 1986 Mercury Capri wheel alignment estimate.
