2017 Ford C-Max-Energi Alignment in Mesa, AZ

Plan an alignment every 2–3 years or about every 30,000 miles, and sooner after suspension work or a hard pothole hit.

This interval helps the 2017 Ford C-Max Energi maintain straight tracking, even tire wear, and stable regenerative braking feel. Mesa driving across the Phoenix metro’s urban corridors can add curb strikes and construction zones to the mix, which accelerate misalignment.

• Vehicle drifts or pulls on level roads
• Steering wheel not centered when driving straight
