Hello All,
I have recently noticed the front end of my 2004 Explorer has a weird sway in it.
The chasis has 189,000 on it but it has a new motor, trans, upper ball joints, and the front wheel bearings were replaced two or three yrs ago.
I havent changed the tie rods, struts or shocks though.
It actually drives pretty well until I hit a very straight long long stretch on
my way to work...then it kind of...just drifts a touch....not real noticeable...
feels almost like loose lugs nuts or something and doesnt do it in curves or any where else that is real noticeable.....
I looked underneath as I changed the oil the other day...didnt see anything
IN MY FACE wrong but plan to jack it up this weekend and give everything a good shake and see if anythings loose...
just wondering if anyone had any ideas on it...is there a way to check struts?
Thanks for any help...
