2013 Ford Taurus Alignment

Alignment is not listed as an interval in the maintenance schedule for this model year, so service is generally based on symptoms, road impacts, and repair history. Fort Worth road construction and potholes can affect wheel angles sooner than normal driving. A measurement can confirm whether adjustment is needed.

• Consider an alignment after replacing steering or suspension parts.
• Check alignment after a significant pothole or curb impact.
• Use tire wear and steering behavior as practical warning signs.

These symptoms can indicate that the wheels are not tracking at the manufacturer’s intended angles. The service team inspects tires, steering, and suspension components because worn parts can create similar concerns. Measuring the current angles helps identify whether an adjustment is appropriate.

• Pulling on a flat road.
• Faster wear along one tire edge.
• A steering wheel that is not centered while driving straight.

The process begins with an inspection of the tires, steering, and suspension for wear that could prevent the alignment from holding. Current angles are compared with factory specifications before any adjustment is recommended. Booking helps you learn whether adjustment is needed before paying for one.

• Camber, caster, and toe measurement.
• Adjustment where the suspension design allows.
• Inspection for tire, steering, and suspension wear.

An alignment cannot correct looseness or wear in a steering or suspension component. David McDavid Ford’s service team checks those parts before recommending an adjustment and explains what the inspection finds. This approach helps separate a correctable wheel-angle issue from a repair that may affect safety or alignment results.

• Inspect tie rods for looseness or wear.
• Check ball joints and struts before adjustment.
• Review tire condition and steering response.

It is worth checking after a major pothole impact, suspension repair, or a change in steering feel. A measurement can show whether the angles remain within the manufacturer’s specifications without assuming an adjustment is required. The inspection also looks for tire or suspension wear that may not be obvious from the driver’s seat.

• Check after replacing suspension or steering components.
• Watch for one-sided tread wear.
• Schedule an inspection if the steering wheel becomes off center.

OEM-oriented alignment equipment provides the measurements needed to identify whether adjustment is appropriate. This matters for the Taurus because incorrect wheel angles can scrub the tires as the vehicle rolls and change its straight-line behavior. The service visit gives you current angles measured against factory specifications, helping you understand the recommendation rather than paying for an adjustment automatically.
