2020 explorer "twists" during acceleration

[slow3v]

Loose bolt when they reassembled it. It took me taking the service manager for a ride and him feeling the car twist. Once he felt it, he agreed it was wrong and knew what test to see if it was fixed. Took them almost 2 whole days until they figured it out… but I’ve but 20k on the vehicle since without a problem….

Thanks for getting back to me! I am going to have to jump underneath it. They tightened everything up and it feels better, but it feels a *smidge* weird still (to me, could be in my head).

I'm suspecting either a poor realignment or something loose. I wish they told you which bolt it was. Oh well. Thanks again!

For those playing along at home.... Loose bolt on the suspension in question.

I had this exact issue and this thread helped pinpoint the problem and finallycorrect it. No unusual wear patterns on tires and features turned off and the twist persisted. Turns out that it was a loose bolt on the driverside rear lower control arm. Unsure why it would be loose at 40k miles, however that was the culprit. Thougt I was crazy, but the tail was wagging the dog in this case.
