Service FAQs
Alignments
Wheel alignments keep your vehicle driving straight, improve handling, and
prevent premature tire wear. It's a good idea to check alignment annually or if
you notice pulling, uneven tire wear, or if your steering wheel is off-center
while driving straight.
What Is a Wheel Alignment?
There are several reasons your vehicle can go out of
alignment, but the most common are hitting potholes or coming into contact with
curbs and other obstacles. These impacts shake and shift your suspension
system, pulling it away from its proper alignment settings.
Even without sudden bumps, your alignment may gradually fall out of place. Over
time, normal wear and tear cause rubber suspension components to crack, joints
to loosen, and countless small road impacts to add up, all of which can throw
off your vehicle's alignment.
Other Causes of Misalignment
In many cases, issues with other suspension or steering
components can also affect your vehicle's alignment, including:
• Worn springs - Lower your ride height, changing your vehicle's
geometry, and leading to misalignment
• Weak springs - Can result in uneven tire wear, often showing up as
"cupping"
• Worn ball joints - May cause erratic handling, sluggish steering response,
and uneven tire wear
• Worn tire rods - Tires to drift side to side, which also promotes irregular
tire wear
Signs You May Need an Alignment
If you notice your vehicle pulling left or right, spot
uneven tire wear, or see that your steering wheel isn't centered while driving
straight, it's time to have your alignment checked. Ignoring these issues not
only affects your driving comfort and safety but can also cause your tires to
wear out much faster than they should.
System Flushes (e.g., Transmission)
Fluid flushes help remove contaminants and prevent premature wear in components like the transmission, cooling system, or power steering. These services are generally recommended every 30,000-60,000 miles, depending on your vehicle and fluid type, and can add years of life to major systems.

Understanding what your tire wear-on both the tread and sidewalls-reveals can give you
valuable insight into your vehicle's condition and your everyday driving habits.
Alignment Wear
Possible Cause: Wheel Misalignment
Solution: If the misalignment is severe, affected tires may need replacement.
Uneven tire wear-often visible along the inner or outer edges of your tires-is a common sign of poor wheel alignment.
Even a slight misalignment can lead to premature tire damage, so it's important to have your alignment checked and corrected promptly.
Underinflated Tires
Possible Cause: Low Tire Pressure, Possibly from a Puncture
Solution: Inflate your tires to the recommended pressure. If the wear is severe, tire replacement may be necessary.
Underinflated tires cause the vehicle's weight to rest more on the sidewalls, leading to excessive wear on the outer edges.
Check your tire pressure at least once a month and before long trips. Stop by any Friendly Ford location anytime for a free tire pressure check.
Center of Tire Wear
Possible Cause: Overinflated Tires
Solution: Adjust your tires to the manufacturer's recommended pressure. If the wear is severe, replacement may be needed.
Overinflated tires wear more quickly in the center of the tread, as shown here. Maintaining the correct air pressure is crucial for tire performance and longevity.
Always follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended tire pressure to get the most out of your tires.
Flat Spots on Tires
Possible Causes: Locked brakes or tires skidding
Solution: Replace tires if the wear is severe.
Flat spots appear when a tire wears down in one area, often from locked brakes or long-term parking. Anti-lock brakes have made them less common,
but flat spots from extended storage can still affect ride comfort. Using jack stands during long-term storage can help prevent them.
Irregular Tire Wear
Possible Causes: Tire belt separation, worn suspension, or missed tire rotations
Solution: Tires may need replacement, especially if belt separation is detected.
Irregular tire wear-sometimes called feathering-can result from belt separation, worn suspension, or skipped tire rotations. Belt separation can lead to tire failure, while worn suspension can cause uneven tire stress. If you notice irregular wear, bring your vehicle in for an inspection promptly.
