- 2017 Ford Explorer XLT
I had my Explorer into the dealership and they replaced the tie rods rear toe links and sent me on my way. Since then the car is wobbly at highway speeds and tends to slightly accelerate when I take my foot off the gas at around 40km/h. It's not as smooth of a ride and I tend to feel every bump and groove in the road and it also feels as if it drives in its own direction and I am correcting the steering. I took it back to check it over and it came back without issues.
I took it to my local garage so they could have a look to confirm it wasn't just in my head. They said that Ford may have not done an alignment and they'd have a look. They ended up finding a bad wheel bearing which they replaced. The garage isn't near a highway so they couldn't take it for a proper test drive.
I get it back and it still feels the same, somewhat better as it doesn't feel like the back end is completely swinging out on me. Not sure what else it could be or what to ask them to look at. Tires are a year old and put on last year.
