Ford Escape pulls hard to the right when accelerating despite dealer alignment and tire rotation on Ford Escape

Problem overview

Some Ford Escape owners report experiencing a persistent pulling to the right during acceleration, even after having received a dealer alignment and tire rotation. This issue may stem from an improper alignment or underlying alignment problems that were not addressed. Additionally, some owners experience torque pull, which can occur due to unequal axle lengths or issues with engine and transmission mounts. Suspension problems, such as worn ball joints or bushings, can also contribute to the vehicle's tendency to pull to one side. Furthermore, a radial pull within the tires, caused by the radial belts, can exacerbate this issue. To resolve these concerns, a thorough inspection of the alignment, suspension components, tires, and torque-related parts is recommended to accurately identify and correct the problem.
