Hey guys, well this morning I was experiencing something out of the ordinary on my X. Just to be brief, I've changed all 4 shocks, I've gotten an alignment and my steering is in it's place, I've changed both front upper ball joints, and have gotten a wheel balance on all 4 tires and have rotated them as well. Ok, getting to the point I noticed my X on the driver side, it felt like the tire or something behind the tires was going up and down, it was going up and down very lightly and the only time I felt it was when I was going slow at about 20mph. Now when I pick up speed at about 45mph I feel it less but once I pick up speed at 65 then I feel it kind of normal but my X has a tiny bit of a vibrating on it and it gets very annoying. The X tends to wabble a little to much and I don't understand what's going on. Does this mean I will need new tires? The tires I have are Michelin XC LTX (something like that) what do you think I should do? I have Monroe Sensatrac Shocks and I still don't understand why the X feels like a old as ride from the 80's. :frustrate

have you tried rotating the tires?

maybe some uneven wear is causing it to wobble
 






Did you get my message where i said that I rotated my tires? I have done wheel balance and rotations
 






I think Ford Racing Guy is asking if you tried rotating them back to see if it makes a difference.
 






Well, I finally fixed my problem, I bough new tires. I bought Goodyear Wrangler RTS
 






so it was the tires
 






yup, them old a$$ tires were the ones giving me the headache, but hey I now have a much smoother ride :)
