Why Do Vehicle Alignment Problems Happen?

Again, the specific cause depends from vehicle to vehicle. Some customers are more likely to experience alignment problems because of the quality of roads they’re driving on. For example, a customer who frequently drives on poorly-maintained roads with many potholes and bumps is more likely to need regular alignment services than someone who lives in an area with roads in excellent condition. Roads are only half of the battle, though: alignment problems are frequently caused by collisions with other vehicles or if your Ford has had an impact with any sort of obstacle or structure (a parking barrier, light pole, curb, etc.).

How a Four-Wheel Alignment Fixes the Problem

Many modern vehicles come standard with independent four-wheel suspension systems. This means that if your right rear tire goes over a bump, but none of the others do, it is likely the only tire impacted by that bump. Each tire effectively exists in its ecosystem; they all experience general wear and tear in different ways than your other tires. During a four-wheel alignment service, your vehicle will be raised on a lift, checked for any damaged suspension or tire parts, and then a certified technician will adjust the camber, caster, and toe of your front two wheels, as well as the camber and toe of your rear two wheels. This is the only way to ensure that all four tires are operating in proper alignment.
