1998 EB Explorer 5.0
I just bought a 98 EB Explorer 5.0 The car is immaculate and loaded with every option. It runs great with 63K and no sign of customization or after market prods. The only problem I have is that it shakes like crazy over bumps (road bumps). My first thought was to replace the shocks and maybe the tires too. Both are the origional parts. But then I saw an article in the FAQ section of this site which leads me to believe this may be a comon problem with Explorers. Can anyone help me cure my shakes? What shocks & tires would you recommend?

Also any tune up tips for the 5.0 would be appreciated. I had a 5.0 Mustang and believe the mods would be very similar.

Thanks!
