:( Explorer Front End wobbles when I hit bumps
I got just the front shocks replaced, they were bad. It did make a significant difference. I am going back to get the back shocks replaced. Tuffy, told me that it is illegal for them to tell me the shocks are bad if it isn't visually seen. After taking them off, then they could see that...- xtal

:( Explorer Front End wobbles when I hit bumps
I do not feel it in the steering wheel or the seat. Although it does make noises when I turn left. Everyone tells me it is normal and no one can see any rubbing. Although it doesn't make that noise when I turn right. The noise is like a rubbing noise or an exaggerated noise of when youa re...- xtal

:( Explorer Front End wobbles when I hit bumps
I had the front shocks replaced (only the front). I can tellthat it does ride smoother, but I can still feel the wooble, just not as bad. Possibly I am just feeling this in the back and cannot tell where it is coming from. I will drive it for a week or 2 and decide if I should get the back...- xtal

:( Explorer Front End wobbles when I hit bumps
yes, the front end (passenger side) was in a accident. That is why I am listing so may replaced parts. I will get new front shocks only and see if that makes a difference. That should be inexpensive enough, and it will not not hurt (65k miles). But I am not going to get the rear done at this...- xtal

:( Explorer Front End wobbles when I hit bumps
Wobble still there So far no one can figure it out. I figured I would take it across the street to have the shocks looked at (AGAIN) on my lunch hour. They drove it and felt the wobble and the front end out of control when I hit bumps. They could not figure out what is wrong -- but did tell...- xtal

:( Explorer Front End wobbles when I hit bumps
I have all new ball joints (lower and upper). I did have one mechanic offer the thought of a bent spindle, but I had another say that if I had a spindle problem it would most likely give me braking problems. I do not have any brake problems. I'm not trying to be a crab and not take advise. I...- xtal

:( Explorer Front End wobbles when I hit bumps
'98 Eddie Bauer I was told the locknuts do not apply to my truck. I have had an alignment. I have had the tires changed. The tire pressure is fine. Many years ago I had a car - that the shock actually went thru the metal (rusted). It made the vehicle very unstable only when I hit bumps...- xtal
