I took my Expedition to the dealer to check he alignment..... they told me they could not do that because the wheel bearings (all four) needed to be replaced. I took it to two other mechanics.... they said maybe only two needed to be replaced. I didn't ask these other mechanics about the alignment.
If the wheel bearings have excessive play in them ( looseness) then YES, it will directly affect the wheel alignment.
isn't the Warrior a Quad? bear in techniques, the front wheels could toe in in direction of one yet another in straightforward terms a splash, a million/sixteen th inch or which you will treatment this difficulty. comparable with autos and trailers! If the wheels on a trailer are lifeless even devoid of toe-interior the trailer will continuously hunt decrease backward and forward at the back of the tow motor vehicle. could could have a shop bend the steel axle to treatment this! If the Warrior is that 2 wheeler with the fat wheels, the main possibly difficulty is a tendency fork. no longer a destructive difficulty, fork legs could be bumped off and straightened.
You can not properly align a vehicle with loose wheel bearings because the wheels might not be in a perfectly true position if a bearing is loose so they are correct. And Ford does seem to have they're share of wheel bearing trouble but all 4 being bad might be stretching it a bit unless it has high mileage and you should have been noticing a growling noise if a bearing was bad.
If the bearings are bad your vehicle is not alignable due to that fact. The play or looseness in the bearings can be enough to cause the vehicle to not be within the alignment specifications. If there is enough play in the bearings or one is staring to fail to the point of having excess friction that can cause irregular tire wear as well as a steering pull. The bearings once replaced are not a factor for the alignment. You may find that with the bearings replaced that you do not have any pull or tire wear. It is not necessary to align the vehicle after having the bearings replaced but it would not be a bad idea. If you have not had the alignment done recently you should go ahead and have it done too just to eliminate any tire wear or pull issues.
The wheel bearings need to be replaced, and then your car will need an alignment. My wheel bearings caused my alignment to be off, and caused excessive wear on my tires and my steering wheel starting to shake. If you're noticing excessive wear or bald patches on your tires, RUN to the dealership to get your wheel bearings repaired. It will cost you so much more to not get it done, and you won't feel safe until it's done.
