Explorer 2008 factory wheel alignment specs

Can anyone here point me in the direction of the wheel alignment specs for a 2008 Explorer (US model). I've got one on import here in Dubai and tyre shop were not sure they had the data for my year.

Any help much appreciated

Thanks in advance

Dave

If it drives straight and doesn't drift or pull, I would call it good.

The left/right difference in SAI and included angle could indicate a bent knuckle, or could just be an anomoly. For your application, I wouldn't worry about it much anyway.

Should the SAI and included angle be the same for each side? or does someone have the specs for this? Thanks
