How Does Mercury Grand Marquis Alignment Work?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Mercury Grand Marquis'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 Mercury intended. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Mercury specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. Three good things happen as a result: your ride is smoother, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Bring your 1988 Mercury Grand Marquis in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Mercury. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When Should I Get Mercury Grand Marquis Wheel Alignment?

It's a good idea to have your Mercury Grand Marquis alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 1988 Mercury Grand Marquis: pulling to the left or right, uneven or rapid tire wear, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your Grand Marquis dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
