Similar to Kay Tay, I had LCLS look at my 95 Explorer front end in preparation for alignment with new tires. Their suspension tech recommended a new steering rack and other bits. I ended up taking the truck to Salmon's Service up the street, who confirmed my suspicion that the parts were only worn (180k miles), not worn out. The tire guy at the desk was friendly enough while waiting, but the suspension tech is bad news, like Kay reported.
