    AC randomly altering between heating/cooling & vents

    Hi, Eddie Bauer 4.6 with auxiliary rear & top AC. PCM went through repair 3 years ago (different problem, that repair fixed -> assumption is that PCM repair done properly). Blend door actuators (driver & passenger) works fine, reacts to command from AC panel, no weird sounds indicating the...

    Side to side "windy" swaying coming from the rear on high speeds

    So the answer - Rear wheel bearing. It was completely worn out, therefore no typical "grinding" faulty wheel bearing noise.

    Side to side "windy" swaying coming from the rear on high speeds

    Thanks for the detailed explanation. It feels like there is a single significant issue causing distinctive (very harsh) side to side swaying on high speeds, that kicks in for couple of seconds every minute or so. This is why I don't think it's a case for compounded improvements from replacing...

    Side to side "windy" swaying coming from the rear on high speeds

    Yes, and I also see that "rear end links and bushings and all four struts" visually look fine - not damaged like the front sway bar bushings above. Anyway, does symptoms logically look like rear end links issue?

    Side to side "windy" swaying coming from the rear on high speeds

    I went to a garage, they checked, said front sway bar bushing are the issue, replaced - 0 results - the problem is not there.

    Side to side "windy" swaying coming from the rear on high speeds

    Hi, Thanks y'all for the advices. So: 1. No leaking rear struts. 2. Obvious damage: haven't spotted anything. Now, 18 years old 190K miles: Obviously if meticulously judging, so (almost all) bushings are not 100% in perfect condition. And that's the point: Practically I'm not going into a full...

    Side to side "windy" swaying coming from the rear on high speeds

    Hi, At high speeds after steering lane change etc. (but always occurs) it feels like something changes positions and truck starts swaying side to side and IMHO feels like coming from the rear. Then almost like that something "came back into place" and normal again. What I already did: 1. New...

    Cause for diagnostic codes for circuit fault at all 4 oxygen sensors & purge valve simultaneously

    Eventually I ended up buying the official repair manual from here: Do it Yourself Automotive Repair Information | ALLDATA DIY It contains genuine OEM drawings, wire diagrams and test procedures. I was overwhelmed by the procedures required for each one of the above codes-they are easy but...

    Cause for diagnostic codes for circuit fault at all 4 oxygen sensors & purge valve simultaneously

    Do you know which pins in the PCM are relevant? I also measured voltage at the purge valve connector and got 4V when engine on and also on key on (key off - I got 0V). So if this is a fine reference voltage at idle, it means problem in the PCM control (not signalling >4V when needed) or with the...

    Cause for diagnostic codes for circuit fault at all 4 oxygen sensors & purge valve simultaneously

    Hi, I've got yellow constant check engine light and after OBD2 with Forscan it appears to be simultaneously circuit fault at all 4 oxygen sensors (Bank 1 Sensors 1 & 2, Bank 2 Sensors 1 & 2) as well as the purge valve circuit. Codes are 0135, 0141, 0155, 0161, 0443. Besides the warning light...

    Custom coilover suspension manufacturer for 2" lift?

    I hoped folks here know places/workshops specialised in tuning springs per car make. --- I'm from Israel, regulations here allow suspension lift up to 2", the manufacturer must declare kit fits car model & TUV certificate (I don't know why they decided to adopt German standardisation on that)...

    Custom coilover suspension manufacturer for 2" lift?

    I'm from a foreign country where strut spacers won't pass annual vehicle inspection. I'm fine with modified springs alone (will compromise on same travel length with the original shock absorber), such that they will give 2" lift.

    Custom coilover suspension manufacturer for 2" lift?

    Hi, Since ain't series manufacturer producing suspension (coilover) lift kits part numbers for 4'th gens, I wondered maybe there are small shops & manufacturers taking custom made coilovers projects for off road lifting? Thinking about it, springs alone might be enough. Thanks in advance,

    Are 3rd & 4th gen suspension lift kits interchangeable?

    Hi, I'm looking for 2.5" suspension lift kits, Rancho used to have those P/N's but discontinued them. So I'm wondering if there other models I can search for available kits, and they will just fine with the 4th gen? Someone even told try Disco 3 since they sharing very similar platforms. Thanks,

    Looking for a snorkel kit for 2006 4.6V8

    Hi, Thanks. The main concern is: If it's only fitting & measuring so actually it's simple - I kind of already know what roughly will fit and then it's only small adjustments - absolutely doable. I even thinking here about 3D printing of final parts (I have such printer). The question is, and I...

    Wanted: Suspension Lift Kit for Explorer 2006 Eddie Bauer 4.6V8

    Hi, I'm looking for at least Spring, but better whole strut (with suspension) - in my understanding this model features a coil over configuration. [I need it for articulated off-road situations so I'm not interested in space bars - since I understood they are more for towing & loading...
