Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Annual inspections are a good baseline, with a full four-wheel alignment every 12,000–15,000 miles or whenever you notice handling changes.
• Have an alignment checked after hitting potholes, curb impacts, heavy towing, or after replacing suspension components—these events commonly knock geometry out of spec.
• Regular fleet or commercial use, like transporting passengers, may require more frequent checks to protect tires and drivetrain on your 2024 Ford Transit Passenger Van.
• Keeping alignments current at Bill Estes Ford Brownsburg saves money long term by extending tire life and reducing repair needs; warranty-covered repairs must be done at a certified dealership.

Why is an alignment important for a 2024 Ford Transit Passenger Van and what are the benefits?

• Proper alignment ensures even tire wear, extending tire life and lowering replacement frequency—critical for van owners who log many miles.
• Correct geometry improves fuel efficiency, handling stability, and reduces strain on steering and suspension components.
• For an all-wheel drive van like the 2024 Ford Transit Passenger Van, alignment protects the drivetrain and helps maintain predictable towing and load-handling behavior.

How do you know if your wheels need alignment?

• Look for uneven or rapid tire wear patterns—inside or outside edge wear often indicates misalignment.
• If the steering wheel is off-center when driving straight, or the vehicle pulls to one side, an alignment check is needed.
• Vibrations, wandering, or poor tracking at highway speeds are common signs; unusual steering feedback when loaded or towing also signals problems.
