How Does Ford Explorer Sport Trac Alignment Work?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Ford Explorer Sport Trac's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. In an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Ford. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When the system is aligned to Ford specifications, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. Three good things happen as a result: you enjoy a smoother ride, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Ford recommendations. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When Should I Get Ford Explorer Sport Trac Wheel Alignment?

It's a good idea to have your Ford Explorer Sport Trac alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed.

Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Explorer Sport Trac dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
