Default Check your wheele alignment guys

Over the years I've learned that NO new car will come with an accurate steering alignment so I dutifully brought the new Focus in for a wheele check.

I would say without a doubt this is the worst new car allignment I've had in decades.

All tyres had to come off the rims to be reset, the beads were not sitting in the rims correctly.

Front was 2 degree towout.

All 4 wheeles were out of balance.

Now after a $60 investment the car doesn't twitch under brakes and the steering wheel has lost it's shake.

Just a shame the fronts have now scrubbed the inside edges..

You live and learn huh
