View Full Version : Front End Alignment

Does anyone have their custom alignment figures? I am taking mine in as soon as the Dealership gets their adaptors in, but evidently the stock Ford specs aren't worth a damn or so many people wouldn't be having the same problem with the tires wearing on the inside as they do. Mine has worn real narrow about 1 to 11/2" with good tread across the rest of the tire. I'm also thinking of putting the same size tires all around so that I can rotate them properly I'm wondering if this would affect the alignment. I have read where a few have did this. I don't have traction control so that shouldn't be a problem. Everyone should contact Ford and ask for a new set of Front tires. I have had my car serviced at Ford dealerships and the tires were never mentioned until they were worn out. I now have about 17k on the car.

Thanks:
Bob

There is a thread about this already, and as I recall someone went to arbitration and won. I have had my front replaced already also and am just slightly under 17k. I put the same size all around and had NTB do the alignment as the LM store where I purchased the care still does not have the correct tools to service the vehicles it sold. I did put the same size all around, and IMHO
it handles better. However Hemlock did this also and said he lost 3MPH on the TOP END ....DOWN from 141 to a mere 137!
