Why does my 1986 Mercury Sable steering feel different?

Pay close attention to changes in your steering. There is no 'alignment light' on your dashboard, so it’s up to you to stay ahead of misalignment. If you notice a change in how your car handles while driving, call on the techs at Firestone Complete Auto Care to check your Sable alignment.

How can I avoid knocking my Mercury Sable out of alignment?

Potholes and uneven roads can knock your car out of alignment, so stay aware of the road ahead and adjust your speed (or avoid these obstacles whenever it’s safely possible).

New tires on your Mercury Sable?

Keep new tires in excellent condition with a wheel alignment. Help them wear evenly from the start with a wheel alignment at the time of installation.

How often does your Sable need a wheel alignment?

Generally, it’s wise to have your alignment looked at around every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever happens first. You should check your Sable owner’s manual to verify Mercury’s suggested interval.

Do you need to get your Sable wheels aligned when you get new tires?

It’s likely not a requirement to get an alignment when you install new tires on your Sable, but it's a smart idea to do so anyway. An alignment can help ensure even tire wear, smooth handling, and better fuel efficiency.

Why Is Mercury Sable Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Mercury Sable’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. During the 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 suspension is aligned to Mercury’s optimal measurements, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. Three good things happen as a result: you enjoy a smoother ride, the lifespan of your tires increases, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. When you bring in your 1986 Mercury Sable, we’ll perform an alignment check first. 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.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Mercury Sable

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Mercury Sable 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 1986 Mercury Sable: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Sable dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

Costs for Mercury Sable Alignment Services

Mercury Sable wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. Over the life of your car, it could help you save on overall costs. Correctly aligned wheels can help boost fuel efficiency and increase the lifespan of your tires, so you can fill up less often, plus get more miles out of your tires. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Call a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care to get an estimate for 1986 Mercury Sable wheel alignment costs today.
