Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: We have had this van for a number of years. it is not used much now. the problem is the wheels do not track. the front wheels are offset to the left, when looking forward. i have noticed this on many other ford e type vans and f type pickup trucks on the highway. the body of these affected vehicles seems to be canted, not going straight down the highway. it would seem that this would put lateral forces on the tires, etc. causing excessive wear and other problems. i am not looking for mfgr. support and only sending this for informational purposes based on current tire problems with ford vehicles. *ak
