- 2015 Explorer XLT FWD V6
Its been a while since our last Explorer so I haven't posted in a long time. As of 2 months ago I now have a Ruby Red 2015 XLT FWD v6 with about 31kmi. I have an appt next week to bring it into Ford, but I wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone has come across this.
I've noticed recently that when I hit a large bump or a rough patch with the right rear tire, that the rear end of the explorer will kick out to the left (could be right but i'll confirm on the way home today, i'm 2nd guessing myself). Its most noticeable at freeway speeds, but i can sort of feel it occasionally around town as well. The best way to describe it is like a RWD car, spinning the tires and the rear kicks left or right. I had the truck full of my family and nephews over the weekend and was on the freeway when the rear end kicked out enough that it made me pucker a bit. No more freeway until this gets sorted out. I'll be taking a look tonight out of curiosity to see if there is anything obvious. I did a search on here and I saw a recall for a toe link for 2013-14, but not for mine. or anything that matched.
So far I've checked tire pressures, alignment seems straight, and lug nuts are tight, I just need to look at the suspension tonight since its not deathly hot today. Any ideas?
