Ford Alignment

I read somewhere that the Fords go out of alignment soon after driving the unit
I think I've read where Ford warrants this work
Anyone have this issue and had it resolved?
I have a 2860DS 2000 miles and it pull to the right in all driving conditions
I'm in the Charlotte area and nobody (ford Dealers) seems to be able to do an alignment on a Class C

That was true for the older twin I-beam suspensions. From a fleet manager's experience the newer Fords seem to be much easier on tires.

search this forum for alignment specs these are what works for the ford e series. I think people have been reimbursed by forest river not ford so any alignment shop that does trucks should be able to do it.

Ford will cover it one time with in the first 12 month or 12,000 miles after that it is at your expense.

You should go ahead and have it done ASAP as the cab chassis is aligned when it leaves Fords plant, but then the camper conversion is done changing things a bit. The manufactures rarely if ever take care of having the unit realigned before delivery to the retail end of the production.

I had mine done at about 2000 miles and my dealer arranged for Forest River to cover the costs in full.
