2020 Ford Explorer Alignment in Salt Lake City, UT

Every 2–3 years or about 30,000 miles, and sooner after suspension work or a hard pothole/curb hit, is a practical interval.

Salt Lake City’s freeze–thaw cycles, ongoing road construction, and canyon drives can nudge alignment angles out of spec. If you notice changes after a winter storm, a freeway ramp impact, or new tires, schedule a check. Keeping your 2020 Ford Explorer aligned helps protect tire investment and steering feel.

• Recheck after tie-rod, ball joint, or strut replacement
• Inspect if you’ve hit a deep pothole near I-15/I-80 interchanges
• Confirm alignment when installing new tires

Four common signs include uneven tire wear, pulling, an off-center steering wheel, and vibration at highway speed.

If your Explorer drifts on the 500 West corridor or the wheel sits crooked on a straight road, angles may be out. Cupping or feathering across the tread is another tell. Salt Lake’s ruts and frost heaves can quickly introduce these symptoms, so a check is wise.

• Steering wheel not centered while driving straight
• Vehicle pulls left or right on flat pavement
• Feathered or uneven tire wear patterns

Six core steps are included: suspension/steering inspection, tire pressure check, caster/camber/toe measurement, adjustment to factory spec, a before/after printout, and a road test.

Your 2020 Ford Explorer receives front and rear angle measurement on OEM-grade equipment, then precise adjustments to Ford specifications. You leave with printed readings that document corrections. If anything limits adjustment, we explain next steps first.

• Front and rear caster, camber, and toe set to Ford specs
• Printed alignment readings provided for your records
• Final road test to confirm straight tracking

Three parts often prevent an alignment from holding: worn tie rods, ball joints, or struts.

During setup, our technicians check for looseness or play that can cause angles to drift. If a component is worn, alignment results won’t last until it’s corrected. We’ll show you the wear, review options, and perform the alignment after repairs so specs stay put.

• Pre-alignment inspection for steering and suspension wear
• Clear explanation if parts are required before alignment
• Alignment completed after needed repairs to hold specs

Usually no—if it drives straight and tires wear evenly, you can wait until symptoms appear or around the 2–3 year interval.

Minor deviations may not be noticeable day to day, but rough city streets and canyon runs can accelerate wear. If you’re unsure, we can measure angles and advise. Protecting even wear on your Explorer’s tires saves money over time.

• Monitor tread for feathering or inside/outside wear
• Measure alignment after a hard curb or pothole impact
• Align after steering or suspension component replacement
