how to fix uneven tire wear on my Ford Mustang S550 (2015-2023)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and materials.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
• Use wheel chocks to prevent movement.

Tools Required:

• Tire pressure gauge
• Tread depth gauge
• Alignment machine
• Jack and jack stands
• Socket set

2. Adjust Tire Pressure

• Sub-step 1: Use the tire pressure gauge to check the pressure of each tire.
• Sub-step 2: Inflate or deflate tires to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure (found in the driver’s side door jamb).

3. Rotate Tires

• Sub-step 1: Loosen the lug nuts on all four tires using the socket set.
• Sub-step 2: Lift the vehicle with a jack and secure it with jack stands.
• Sub-step 3: Remove the tires and rotate them according to a standard rotation pattern (e.g., front to back and side to side).
• Sub-step 4: Reinstall the tires and tighten the lug nuts to the manufacturer’s specified torque value.

4. Perform Wheel Alignment

• Sub-step 1: Take the vehicle to a professional alignment shop or use an alignment machine if available.
• Sub-step 2: Adjust camber, caster, and toe angles to meet factory specifications as indicated in the service manual.

5. Inspect and Replace Suspension Components (if necessary)

• Sub-step 1: If any damaged suspension components (e.g., control arms, bushings) are found during the inspection, replace them.
• Sub-step 2: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for disassembly and reassembly, ensuring all fasteners are torqued to specification.
