How Does Mercury Mountaineer Alignment Work?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Mercury Mountaineer’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. When your car has 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 the system is aligned to Mercury specifications, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. As a result, you get several benefits: your car handles better, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and your suspension system experiences less strain. When you bring in your 2001 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.

When Should I Get Mercury Mountaineer Wheel Alignment?

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Mercury Mountaineer alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2001 Mercury Mountaineer: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, excessive wear on only one tire, 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 Mountaineer if your wheel alignment needs attention.

How Much Does an Alignment for Mercury Mountaineer Cost?

Mercury Mountaineer wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might 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 get more miles out of the same tank of gas and set of tires. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 2001 Mercury Mountaineer wheel alignment estimate.
