I went to the tire store today to get an estimate on my front-end. It has been re-aligned twice, the first time it stayed in line for about 3 weeks before it toed in again. The guy their said that there is no adjustment for the camber(i think that's what he called it) And that all fords didn't come out with them. He says that he puts them on all the time. He said that the kit would be $40, then $35 labor for each side and a $44.95 alignement job. Grand total of $154.95. He said that Ford puts a bar their to hold the tires straight, but after a while the bar wears. He says that this kit has been out for about 1 1/2 years. It is called the camasentrix kit. Now this guy is a ASE certified mechanic, on his business card it says he's a front-end specalist. He believe him, I'm not posting this to see if he lying, I'm posting this to see if anyone else had problems with their alignment.

My tires look like this / \ They are curved in this way.
 






I think you should go get a second opinion from someone else. I've never ever seen tires like that on an explorer, especially a newer model like you have. There are a lot of ASE certified mechanics out there who don't mind cheating you out of your money. Keep in mind that it's ruining your tires so get it fixed soon.
