We have a 2017 Lariat. It pulls to the right. Was at Ford for bushings work and had it aligned at the same time. Ford could not get it to align and it still pulled to the right. Said we needed a camber castor kit, got the kit and they STILL cannot get it to align. Not a dramatic pull, but enough that you have to consistently put pressure on the left, take your hand off the wheel and it drifts to the right. Per Carfax no reported accidents. Anyone know what the heck?!?

Did Ford say they can't align it or the fact that it pulls to the right in your opinion means they can't align it. A bad set ot tires can make a vehicle drive crooked?

Welcome.
Bent frame ??

Ford said they cannot get it aligned.

Definitely our fear, is that it’s been in a non reported accident and the frame is indeed bent. Ugh

how did you end up finding/determining the accident history and/or the bent frame?

And, shouldn’t a hood alignment shop discover the bent frame ?


edit: GOOD alignment shop (not hood)

The only history that we have is from Carfax. Carfax says no accidents reported. Having a bent frame has not been concluded yet. It’s just the next thought because ford is having such a hard time aligning it. Don’t know what a hood alignment shop is, but certainly will look into it.

meant GOOD alignment shop. Sorry

Just following up! Took it to an alignment/collision shop. Their first question are the tires bad? Indeed, the tires were bad! How did Ford not look at that first?? Anyway, 4 new tires, which look amazing and it’s finally aligned. In fairness to Ford, the shop did say it was challenging to align.
