Focus SES 2.0L

  • Manual transmission

Well the same week that I had bought the car, I had noticed that the alignment was off. I continued to drive it on any and all road conditions and it pulled very bad to the right. When I took it to the dealer ship they did an alignment and I made sure to ask for a before and after print out of the specs.

The alignment was way off.
