2013 Lincoln MKZ Alignment Specifications

The 2013 Lincoln MKZ uses factory-defined ranges for caster, camber, and toe to balance stability, turn-in, and tire life. On AWD models, four-wheel alignment is recommended: the front axle typically allows toe and, in some cases, camber/caster correction depending on hardware; the rear axle is measured and adjusted where provisions exist to keep thrust angle centered. Our technicians reference Lincoln data and use OEM-spec alignment equipment to capture live readings, then set the vehicle to target values and center the steering wheel. We also verify tire pressures and inspect for any play that could cause drift or uneven wear.
