How often should I get an alignment on my 2016 Lincoln MKT in Westborough, MA?
Every 2–3 years or about 30,000 miles is a good interval, and sooner after suspension work or a major pothole impact.
MetroWest roads and seasonal construction can nudge angles out of spec on a 2016 Lincoln MKT, especially with its AWD grip and 365 hp V6. If you tow (up to 4,500 lbs) or frequently carry passengers, inspect alignment more often. Use our online tools to schedule service and check service specials.
