Hello,
I have a 2002 Focus SE wagon that my wife and I bought a month ago for her.
Checked over everything before we bought, but missed the fact that to me, the rear wheels look tilted in at the top. The driver side rear looked tilted in more to me. My wife doesn't see what I'm talking about but she did take it to the mechanic at the dealer where we got it and he said he made a small adjustment and they both look pretty much the same but they still have that tilted-in look to me.
Could this possibly be normal for this wagon? The tires don't appear to be worn on the inside. The tires have 5,000+ on them so I would think they should show some wear by now, but I'm still not entirely convinced that should be aligned like that. Anybody else have this model Focus and notice the same situation?
Something else I missed, the rear hatch had a larger gap on one side by a lot when closed.
They also did adjust that so the gap is the same on both sides now. Emailed the salesman to see if he could find out what they actually did to fix this but never heard anything back. Any idea as to what they did? I could call him but I have a feeling he won't want to give up the info because if the hatch gets out of alignment again, he would want me to bring it in again and pay this time. Quite sure it would be something I could do.
Thanks for any info you might have, Jeff
