Phil Here. My 2002 Explorer. XLT Seems a little light in the front end? Does not wander but it feels more like a sway. Steering is too responsive. Would there be some sort of Stabilizer Bar or Shock that I can install to help me with this situation ? Please respond, Thanks in advance

Check sway bar bushings at control arms and body. (front and rear)

If your struts have never been replaced they are surely bad by now being a 2002.

Get your alignment checked.

^ Ditto. Also check front sway bar end links. OEM has a very high failure rate. If broken, replace BOTH sides.

Pay money for a quick response. ....as others have mentioned, replace the sway bar links.

Phil Here. Thank you guys. I have replaced my Sway bar links so now I will surely look towards My Struts for replacement. My XLT has 103k mi. and I don't know it's history.
