2014 Ford Escape Alignment

Get an alignment every 2–3 years or about every 30,000 miles, and any time after suspension work or a major pothole impact.

General service guidance for the 2014 Ford Escape follows manufacturer and shop best practices: routine intervals keep toe and camber within tolerance and extend tire life. In Mesa, AZ, seasonal road repairs and occasional potholes increase the chance of sudden misalignment, so check sooner if you hit a curb or notice pulling.

• Routine alignment: every 2–3 years or ~30,000 miles
• Always align after replacing steering or suspension parts
