03 Ford Explorer V8 I bought new and now has 145K miles. The engine and tranny run fine, burns no oil and no slipping. Last year I replaced all 4 hubs, all 4 axle shafts / CV Joints, Springs / Shocks, 4 new wheels / Tires (Factory OEM wheels refinished), Plugs and wires, trans service, transfer case service, front and rear diff service, steering rack and pump. Tie rod ends and ball joints were Not replaced cause they were good at the time.
Lately I'm noticing a vibration at highway speeds, 65 mph and over. The strange part is the vibration comes and goes even with the speed constant. I put the cruise on at 72mph and you'll feel the vibration for a while, then goes away for a bit, then comes back, it does this constantly. I've rotated and rebalanced tires and it's not from something in the road. I'm thinking it has to be something in the front suspension or steering cause I only feel the vibration in the steering wheel not on the dash or floor.
I'm thinking maybe ball joints or tie rod ends. Anyone ever experience this, what do you think?
