[QUOTE="scott degroot, post: 884337, member: 66039"] And that is exactly what it boils down to. I have aligned I don't know how many ST's and also Explorers, and just about every make and model of car out there and I can tell you that it really doesn't get more basic than the ST. In some instances a camber kit may be required to bring things back into spec because Ford didn't see a need to make the front end totally adjustable, it is by no means at all difficult and there are alot of other vehicles out on the road that require kits also. One of the best things that the owner of a new vehicle can do is have the alignment checked immediately upon purchasing it. My 08 STs' alignment was grossly out of spec and had I not checked and adjusted upon purchasing it the tires would have worn out in 10,000 miles instead of the 21,000 miles that I actually got out of them. (Forteras suck). Funny thing is it seems that it is the higher end cars that I see the alignment out straight from the factory than most.
