how often should i get an alignment on my 2016 ford explorer?

As a general guideline, get an alignment every 2–3 years or about every 30,000 miles, and after any suspension work or a major pothole impact.

Draper road conditions—winter frost heaves, road repairs near 11400 South, and canyon approach routes—can accelerate misalignment. If you tow with your 2016 Ford Explorer or frequently drive on rough back roads, check alignment more often and have tires inspected at regular service intervals.

  • Alignment after suspension repair or replacement
  • Check alignment if you hit a large pothole or curb
  • Verify at tire rotations or when noticing uneven wear
what are the signs my 2016 ford explorer needs an alignment?

There are four common signs: uneven tire wear, the vehicle pulling to one side, an off-center steering wheel, or steering vibration at speed.

If you notice any of these symptoms in your 2016 Ford Explorer while driving around Draper—especially after winter or construction seasons—bring it in for an inspection. Our technicians will measure tire wear patterns, steering response, and suspension geometry to determine whether an alignment or additional repairs are required.

  • Uneven inner or outer tire wear patterns
  • Vehicle drifts left or right while driving straight
  • Steering wheel not centered at straight-ahead
what's included in a 2016 ford explorer four-wheel alignment?

For a 2016 Ford Explorer, our service process measures and, where adjustable, corrects front and rear toe, camber, and caster to Ford factory specifications. We also check tie rods, ball joints, and shocks, record alignment values before and after, and perform a road test that reflects Draper driving conditions.

  • Suspension and steering component inspection
  • Caster, camber, and toe adjustments to factory spec
  • Printed before-and-after alignment readings and road test
how do i know if my 2016 ford explorer alignment problem needs more than just an alignment?

If worn suspension parts such as tie rods, ball joints, or struts are present, all three can prevent a proper alignment from holding and require repair first.

When you bring a 2016 Ford Explorer to Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper, our inspection looks for excessive play, uneven component wear, and damage from impacts. If parts need replacement, we explain necessary repairs, show you the failing components, and re-align to factory specs after repairs are completed.

  • Check tie rods for play that causes wandering or loose steering
  • Inspect ball joints and control arms for wear that alters geometry
  • Replace shocks/struts if they allow excess movement that prevents alignment
