How Does Mercury Mountaineer Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Mercury Mountaineer’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. When your car has an alignment 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, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. Three good things happen as a result: 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. When you bring in your 2000 Mercury Mountaineer, we’ll perform an alignment check first. 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.

Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Mountaineer dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
