Alignment Advice

Rough roads can cause your Ford’s wheels to come out of alignment, which can put you in a possibly dangerous position. It’s important to have your alignment checked if you feel your vehicle may be misaligned. There are many signs that you should be aware of that could be indicative of a bad alignment.

Tires showing uneven tread wear

Make sure you are keeping an eye on your tires, as uneven or rapid tread wear are signs of misalignment. While normal tread wear is unavoidable, if you notice rapid wear or uneven wear on the treads of your tires it is time to have your alignment checked.

Steering wheel vibrating while driving

A vibrating steering wheel, or even shaking of the entire car, is caused by prolonged misalignment. This is a sign that the two tires are pulling against each other. This typically only occurs when you’ve hit a significant pothole or curb, knocking your alignment off kilter.

Vehicle pulls to left or right side

If you’ve noticed your car veers to the right or left while you’re driving, it is time to bring your car in for an alignment. This is one of the most common and recognizable alignment issues. Check yours by gently releasing the steering wheel while driving on an empty, straight stretch of road.
