Why Is Mercury Cougar Alignment Important?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Mercury Cougar's suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. When your car has an alignment service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Mercury intended them to. When the system is aligned to Mercury specifications, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. This gives you several benefits: your car handles better, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2002 Mercury Cougar, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. 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.

When Should I Get Mercury Cougar Wheel Alignment?

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Mercury Cougar alignment checked about 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 also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2002 Mercury Cougar: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or squealing tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your Cougar dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

Costs for Mercury Cougar Alignment Services

Mercury Cougar wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. Over the years, it could actually save you money.

Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 2002 Mercury Cougar wheel alignment estimate.
