    2020 Explorer ST - Lots of hassle and work done at 35k miles - any success stories welcome

    Just thought of this as well. Did they check your brakes to make sure they weren't sticking? A stuck piston in the caliper will cause a pull. Especially noticeable when applying the brakes.

    2020 Explorer ST - Lots of hassle and work done at 35k miles - any success stories welcome

    M Mine was due to improper steering linkage reassembly when my transfer case was replaced. It did not cause a pull per say but my steering wheel was not dead center when traveling straight down the road. When positioning my steering wheel centered, it listed to one side. Worn or defective...

    2020 Explorer ST - Lots of hassle and work done at 35k miles - any success stories welcome

    Most techs I've dealt with regarding my pull didn't think outside the box. They always resorted to an alignment, which didn't fix the issue even though the alignment came back within spec. I insisted that they needed to check my steering linkage and suspension components. Lo and behold, after...

    Bad CV joints

    Had my passenger side replaced twice now. First time at 40k miles and second at 50k miles.

    2020 Explorer ST - Lots of hassle and work done at 35k miles - any success stories welcome

    Steering linkage would most likely cause your steering wheel not be dead center when cruising straight down the road. Forcing it dead center would cause a pull to one side. Pull due to suspension components, especially if you let your hands off the wheel or feel the vehicle forced in one...

    2020 Explorer ST - Lots of hassle and work done at 35k miles - any success stories welcome

    Pure speculation here but it almost sounds like improper suspension/steering linkage reassembly. You would think that after all of that work the least they could do is take it for a test drive. Had the same issue with mine pulling to the right after the transfer case was replaced. Ended up being...

    Disappearing coolant?

    Do you have white smoke coming from your exhaust? Did they do a combustion leak test?

    Leaking oil?

    Just dropped mine off for this issue. Also, I noticed either diff fluid or oil on my trans pan. Any ideas as to how it ended up there?

    Noise at Idle

    I hear ya. I haven't seen anything on this forum quite like what you are experiencing.

    Noise at Idle

    Sounds like it could be a number of things from something as simple as the dust cover contacting the flywheel or something more serious like rod knock. Grab yourself an auto stethoscope and see if you can pinpoint. If you can pinpoint from top end around valve covers, could be valve or cam...

    Alignment/Steering Linkage Issue

    Tire pressure is good around and newer tires so no issue there. Ford had me bring back in again this morning to fix the steering wheel issue. Drove it off the lot and the steering wheel was even more off center!! Taking it back in for a third time. Has to be a steering column/linkage issue. I...

    Alignment/Steering Linkage Issue

    185lbs. At lower speeds the pull is not very noticeable at dead center. However, anything over 40mph, which is basically every road in FL is very noticeable and pulling me into the median or other lanes.

    Alignment/Steering Linkage Issue

    Just took the vehicle in to check out a misaligned steering wheel. Pulled slightly to the right when wheel was dead center. Did an alignment now it's pulling slightly to the left with wheel dead center. Trying to figure out if this is an alignment issue or steering linkage issue. Any thoughts?
