ISSUE Some 2003-2005 Explorer Sport Trac vehicles equipped with the Goodyear Wrangler RT/S, P255/70R16 109S AT OWL tire, may exhibit signs of feathering heel-toe wear on the inside or outside edges of the front tires. Tire noise may also be present during regular highway drive or when braking. ACTION Inspect the tires for feathering heel-toe wear. It may be necessary to rotate or replace tires and reset toe. Refer to the following Service Procedure. SERVICE PROCEDURE 1. Visually inspect the front tire’s inside and outside shoulder ribs (Figure 1). 2. Measure the difference in tread depth of the leading edge compared to trailing edge, of the most-worn lug (figure 2). If the average difference in tread depth between leading and trailing edge is less than 2 mm, rotate the tires. If the average difference is more than 2 mm, replace the front tires. Also inspect the rear tires and replace if necessary. 3. Ensure that the camber and caster readings are within specification. 4. Set the total front toe (TFT) to 0.12 +/- 0.05 degrees (nominal). NOTE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE TOE BE SET POSITIVE TO 0.12 +/- 0.05 DEGREES (NOMINAL). NOTE REFER TO WORKSHOP MANUAL SECTION 204-00 FOR ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES.

Removal and Installation Procedure for Titan Front (Shocks come pre-charged direct from the factory with 200 PSI of Nitrogen) 1. Park the vehicle on a level concrete surface where it is safe to work on your vehicle. 2. Lock and center the steering wheel. 3. Place blocks in front and behind the rear tires so as to keep the vehicle from moving forwards or backwards. 4. It is beneficial that you get a reference measurement of the stock ride height prior to the removal of the stock coil-overs; measuring the distance from the center of the hub to the bottom of the fender does this. You will use this measurement when you are setting your ride height after installation. 5. Using a jack lift the front of the vehicle and support the vehicle using jack stands. Be sure to place the jack and jack stands securely in the positions shown in the diagram. After placing the jack stands slowly lower the jack and remove the jack so that the front suspension can hang freely. Remember to be alert and cautious when working under a vehicle. 6. Remove the front wheels and set them aside.
