Alignment Problem

[Andre G]

ok here it is I bought the car 3 months ago front tires were oem they had decent tread left after driving about 3-4k miles they have wore down so im like ok alignment time...i get it done they show me specs and my car its off by alittle but enough to cause tire wear they fix it and say i need new tires which i know but i say no cause im getting a set soon here well now like 3-4 weeks later the front tires r showing thread now... is the alignment back off again or is it jus cause i havent replaced them yet.?... im getting new tires in a few days and im going to take it back is it possible for the alignment to come back out again?.. thanks

p.s also whenever i turn my wheel either direction it creeks WTF is that?..and how do i fix it?.. makes me not want to drive into parking lots with ppl there thanks

On a Mustang????

Has the car been in a wreck? Usually at an alignment shop they are quick to point out if it has been. Likely the tires have not been properly rotated and proper inflation has not been maintained. Make sure you do this with your new tires.

the front tires r showing thread now...

dont drive until you get new tires on there... seriously. thats what caused me to wreck

if your car was recently aligned, and you havent gone offroading since then, its probably still good... just get new tires, the worn tires could be causing it to be out of alignment...

and you dont have CV joints, but check to see if something is loose or messed up in your front suspension... or that could be your power steering pump, but thats kinda normal, ford power steering pumps like to howl, lol

edit: oh yeah, does it make the noise when you're stopped and turn the wheel? or do you have to be rolling for it to make the noise?

stopped or moving slow it jus creeks sounds like some suspension part isnt greased like it should be

Likely the sway bar or tie rod ends to me. Niether has grease fittings, but I've heard of some people 'injecting' grease into the bushings with a syringe (seriously!). Could be the struts as well...
