I purchased the extended warrenty is a front end alignment covered?

I have a 2006 ford explorer... don't know if that matters... i have always thought it needed an alignment because it pulls when slowing to a stop. but always wondered if i was covered...I have had it for a year and 4 mo so the buyers warranty ran out... but i am making payments every month for an extended warranty and don't really know what all is covered i never received anything when i signed for it

    You are paying monthly for a extended warranty? In the future never purchase an extended warranty. You could just set aside the same amount you are paying for this warranty. If something goes wrong you have savings.If in a couple years nothing goes wrong or maybe you don't even have the car any more you can use the money for a nice vacation.

    No, aligments are not covered. Reason being is that it is easy to know a car out of alignment by hitting a curb...even a rock sometimes. It is not covered because more times then not the alignment is off because of hitting something and NOT the car wearing out or breaking on its own. I am not saying you hit something I am giving you the reason warranty companies do not cover it.

    Puulling while braking sounds more like one or more of the following -

    Sticking brake caliper

    Low pressure in one or more tire

    Bad control arm bushings

    You may be up a creek. Many of those extended warranty programs are not a manufacturers type "Bumper to Bumper". They simply cover the drivetrain...engine, trans, axle, drive gears, transfercase, and any other incorporated parts. If you have any paperwork, or the name of the warranty carrier and the program, you can look it up. Better yet, call them or the agent who you bought the warranty from.

    Its covered if other repairs were done that require alignment.
