9 common questions answered
How often should I get an alignment on my 2021 Ford Transit Crew Van?
Every 2–3 years or about 30,000 miles is a practical interval, sooner after suspension work or a hard pothole hit.
For a work-ready van like the 2021 Ford Transit Crew Van that sees mixed loads and MetroWest roads, alignment can drift faster. Central Massachusetts winters, frost heaves, and construction zones around Westborough, Worcester, and Framingham can all accelerate wear. We recommend checking alignment with every tire replacement or after curb/pothole impacts.

- Road hazards on Route 9 and I‑495 can knock angles out of spec
