Why Is Ford Explorer Sport Trac Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Ford Explorer Sport Trac’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. During the service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Ford intended them to. When your suspension is aligned to Ford’s optimal measurements, all of your tires experience equal pressure. As a result, you get several benefits: your car handles better, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Bring your 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. 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?

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Ford Explorer Sport Trac alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac: pulling to the left or right, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your Explorer Sport Trac dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

How Much Does an Alignment for Ford Explorer Sport Trac Cost?
