Hello everyone!
I've not been around for awhile because my supercharged Ranger is no more and I've been driving a 2004 Explorer Sport Trac with the 4 liter V6. I really like the truck, but I've been experiencing chronic problems with the front end and I'm wondering if there is a fix . . .
I've replaced the upper and lower control arm bushings on both sides, along with the ball joints -- also on both sides. I've put a little over 100 000 kilometers on this vehicle since we bought it, and now I need a THIRD set of tires. The toe-in goes out of whack and wears the inside of the front tires so badly I can't get more than 2 years out of a set. Is this a known issue? Is there a way to fix it?
Additionally, the front brake discs warp easily. I've also replaced these twice, and they need replacing again. I like to think I'm gentle on brakes and I never had this problem with my Ranger, but the Sport Track is a front-end nightmare.
Suggestions?
