Report "I have a 1997 Ford Escort that I recently put (2) new tires on the front. After the tires the vehicle started pulling to the left very badly. I had the tires switched in the front left to right, right to left and it helped the problem. I also had it hooked up to the alignment machine at the repair shop and it said the left tire was out of alignment but they need to loosen the strut in order to realign. I was wondering does this make sense to you. Also can the rear wheels be aligned or only the front? I bought the car for my 16 year old son and want it to be safe. I have only had to vehicle for 3 months and it only has 44,000 original miles on it. I recently replaced the rear struts and springs because they were broken. Last question, are there any known issues that I should keep an eye out for with a 1997 Ford Escort? Thank you very much for your time and help"
