The 1996 Ford F-150: Wheel alignment
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for a wheel alignment on the 1996 Ford F-150 we arrange a trusted shop. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
Details the shop needs
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the F-150. The powertrain here is the 4.9L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual.
Who does what
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
Keep moving meanwhile
We collect the rental when your car is back. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Talking to the shop
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Between shop visits
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
