Road conditions around Mesa and the East Valley — including construction zones and occasional potholes — can accelerate misalignment. Follow the schedule above as a baseline, and have your 2012 Ford Fusion checked after hitting a severe pothole, curb, or after replacing steering/suspension parts.

If you notice any of these signs, bring the vehicle to Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa for a suspension check and alignment verification.

During the pre-alignment inspection at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa, technicians check for play, torn boots, and worn bushings that can prevent alignment corrections from lasting. If components are worn, replacing them and then performing the alignment prevents rapid return of out-of-spec readings and uneven tire wear.

• Worn tie rods or ball joints cause steering play and misalignment.
• Strut or control-arm bushing wear can change camber under load.
• Technician inspection identifies parts that must be repaired first.
