What's Included in a 2018 Ford F-150 Four-Wheel Alignment

We begin by verifying concerns and road-testing your 2018 Ford F-150 to confirm symptoms. Next, a thorough steering and suspension inspection checks tie rods, ball joints, control arms, bushings, and shocks/struts to ensure adjustments will hold. We set tire pressures, then mount sensors to measure caster, camber, and toe against Ford factory specifications. Where adjustable, angles are corrected to spec; if a rear thrust-angle deviation is detected on non-adjustable components, we make precise front corrections and document any underlying issues. You receive a clear before/after printout and a final road test confirms straight-line tracking and steering wheel centering. Coverage follows {{rooftop.warranty_terms.alignment}} when applicable.
