93 Front End Problems Caused by Shocks/Tires

[Ed Gincauskas]

Hi I'm a new poster and I love this site! I've had my truck for four years and I think I made a big mistake by putting on 30" Michelin LTX AT's with the Rancho 5000's shocks. It seems like everytime I hit a bump my teeth chatter. The impact is soooo severe that I think my front end keeps getting damaged. I have replaced most of my alignment parts & coils. Lately the Left Front Wheel has really bad inner tire wear and a bearing noise but the bearing isn't loose. I took it in again to get the alignment checked and they said they couldn't fix it! Now I'm lost.
How do I fix the inner LF tire wear? After I get this solved I'm getting the Edelbrock shocks for the front (I have them on my '97 Expedition & they are great). Any suggestions on what to do? I want to make my front end feel like new again. I want to keep my Exploder for another 5 years. Help!
After reading some articles on this site I'm gonna: replace my front hubs to manual; clean out my O2 sensor; and fix my 4x4 to come on better. Great INFO, this site rocks!

check your shock and sway-bar bushings. Mine does the same thing but I've learned to live with it till I lift my truck and install all new bushings. It may be the radius arm going bad. Good Luck finding the problem. Keep us informed

I'd also like to welcome you to the site. Hope you stick around for a while.
