    I would look front suspension damage or a broken coil spring (if the Explorer uses a spring it may use torsion bar suspension). At any rate something serious is wrong that may result in a failure/safety issue, and abnormal tire wear.I would suggest bringing your Explorer to a tire store and get them to check the suspension and ball joints, and also the chassis for damage or rust.
