Good afternoon,
I've a 2003 Ford Explorer with V6 engine, 120K miles. Problem: Feeling vibration in steering wheel & front end (seems like front end also) when driving speeds between 55-70 mph. Noticed that vehicle seems to stop vibrating after shifting to neutral. I'm assuming this is a driveline problem. Recently had tires(22 inch wheels) balanced multiple times (same problem), replaced stabilizer links, replaced upper ball joints, outer tie rods also. Still have same issue but steering is better after replacing tie rod ends. Both original drive shafts have been replaced as well. Have any of you experienced this type problem with your Explorer? Why would the vehicle stop vibrating when taken out of gear? What does this mean? Bad differential? drive axle shaft? cv axle/joints? etc. I would really appreciate your help with this very aggravating issue. Thanks...................................
