When is a wheel alignment needed?

Learn the causes and symptoms of misaligned wheels, such as hitting potholes or your vehicle pulling to one side. Discover how misalignment affects tire wear and why seeking service from an authorized dealer is crucial for your vehicle.

A sudden impact from hitting a curb or driving through a pothole can significantly affect your vehicle's front suspension and alignment, potentially causing misalignment or damage to your tires.

A key indicator that your wheels may be out of alignment is if your vehicle tends to pull noticeably to one side while you are driving on a level road.

Wheel misalignment, whether in the front or rear, leads to uneven and accelerated wear on your tires' tread. This not only shortens tire lifespan but can also affect handling and safety.

It is important to have your wheel alignment checked periodically by an authorized dealer. If misalignment is detected, it should be corrected promptly by a qualified technician at a Ford Authorized Dealer to ensure optimal vehicle performance, tire longevity, and driving safety.
