suspension issues

Hi, I just bought a 2010 Ford Explorer XLT 4x4 6 Cylinder 4.0. I was told that a lot of these vehicles were old police vehicles. Anyway, My concern is that when I turn the steering wheel sharp left or right when I first start to go forward, it feels like the wheel is at a angle and ready to...

Hello All, Hoping someone with a little more suspension expertise than myself may be able to help me out. I have a 2013 Ford Explorer Sport that I acquired at the end of last year with 156,000 miles on it. I had the front struts, rear shocks, and front control arms replaced. I then had a vehicle...

I bought a used 14’ Sport in January with 86k. Love the power of my car, I added a K&N cai and Diablo Sport tune. At 90k I had my passenger front wheel bearing changed. 99k a/c compressor, dryer, orifice tube, and front strut mounts. Thank God for extended warranties! I’ve only paid $100 for...

I slid on snow and hit a curb going roughly 8 mph and snappedmy lower control arm in 2 pieces and pulled the axle out of the insert. The auto body shop got my insurance to replace all the suspension parts on the front drivers side wheel. However after multiple test drives there is a...

We have had our 2016 Explorer sport for about a month now. We live in Michigan which means our freeways can be bumpy. We have noticed a very loud "gong" noise when hitting bumps that extend completely across the lane of the highway. The noise is similar to hitting a hollow metal pipe. It is...

Hello, I recently got my upper ball joints replaced and after i turned a corner a very loud pop noise came from the front of my car. Now my wheel is a bit wobbly (Wasn't wobbly when the pop happened. Started the next day). I have a 2002 ford explorer. I recently got all new brakes, rotors and my...

I have one hell of a wobble on my front driver side. So far, I've replaced worn sway bar end links, replaced Upper Control Arm bushings, checked inner and outer tie rods, replaced inner and outer wheel bearings, and rotated the tires. Upon inspection, with both loaded and unloaded suspension...

Hi, do I need any special tools to change the rear bushes in my Ford Explorer, or can remove the old ones by hand and install the new ones? Atb, Crispyinasia

When I turn my steering wheel while driving, my car shakes (can really feel it at lower speeds). I gave it the old, jack it up and check the hub test, and nothing. Every mechanic I know said hub. Replaced it and problem definitely still there. Seems to get worse as time goes on. Any ideas as...

Hello Just wondering the cheapest place to buy rear leaf springs. Would like them brand new thanks.

When my 2003 Sport Trac 4x4 hits a bump or travels on wavy, rough road, the body tends to sway side to side. Drives me nuts. The truck does not bounce front to back but, the sway is like being on a boat. The truck has 124K miles. Front and rear sway bars. The sway bar bushings look to be in...

Ok some of you may have read my previous posts where I was having problems figuring out why my '02 kept killing and chugging intermittently on the highway- no shop could figure it out. Pretty much gave up. I decided to buy another one- and picked up a 2007 Limited with a V8 and towing...
