Hard to do without USB, I hear over the AIR updates are unreliable, guess you could check for trouble codes or just replace the USB hub or try reseating the cables.

Suspect the system (APIM module) saw something it did not like and shut down the USB ports, from what I've read, it should timeout overnight and turn the ports back on.

Have you tried Forscan to check for any error codes? I think the APM or BCM module controls the USB ports.

Yes it should be running, Forscan should be able to do it. See the first three steps of the level check procedure.

Agreed, unless there is deep pitting and/or metal flaking off, best not to take it in, service calls sometimes cause more harm than good.

I've read many posts saying they needed to modify the front wheel knuckle to strut bolt hole, others say it's not necessary. See Install section 3.2 below: https://www.foexplorer.com/ford_explorer_removal_and_installation_front_strut_and_spring_assembly-441.html

If they are trying to set the Camber with toe out of spec, I don't think it will work, I struggled aligning my ST because I was going out of order. It was only when I moved the upper control arm to the farthest outward position and ignored the Camber reading then set the toe, did the Camber fall...

Sway bar and or links?

Target was -1.4 on rear camber with the cambolts installed. Got to -1.3 and I stopped, good enough for me. toe in is the width of the BG racing string approx 1/64" across the width of the 21" rim. Will drive around and recheck/adjust. https://www.bg-racing.co.uk/b-g-racing-string-lines-kit
