    2013 Yukon..Strange screaming noise/smoke from passenger side of engine bay

    Does she brush the curbs a lot when parking? My wife had a similar sound, and does that a lot.

    Here's the worst thing about White Lettering - my wife's front right tire on her Ford Explorer. Does anyone know why the Mrs. always gets this?

    Wife's parking

    My wife is only 5'3 and she has to do a lot of parallel parking. She is constantly hitting the curbs, and scraping the rims. Sometimes she even leaves her back right tire on the curb. Will this kill the alignment?
