Dealership can't get the alignment right

[Min_Ahn]

Quick update:

This morning, as soon as I got up, I went to this place called Coloradoland Tire & Service because they had the best review on google in this area.

It took less than one episode of Netflix series for them to service my Bronco (it took the Ford dealership 3 days and still messed up) and for the first time since leaving the factory, it drives straight with the steering wheel centered.
The overall fee was about $90 plus tax.

Fyi, Ford tried to charge me $316 for the (shit) alignment and wheel balancing because they didn’t admit that it’s a warranty job until I had to convince the service manager that the vehicle is out of the whack from the factory. After having had to go through that trouble, I didn’t want to go through the same bs at any other dealerships which is why I went to a private shop this time.


Thanks everyone!

When I let go of the steering wheel, it goes straight, but the steering wheel is tilted to the left.
When I center the steering wheel, the car goes to the right.

They just need to lock your steering wheel straight and reset the toe. Your steering wheel is off center. Keep in mind crown of the road as well. Most roads slope right. As a former ASE certified suspension and steering tech who has done tons of alignments, I can go deeper into this if you’d like.
