- 1999 Explorer sport
Just bought a 99 explorer sport with 80k on it. Very pleased with the truck over all and most everything has actually worked, which is a new experience for me.
Truck was sitting about 2 years and was last started a year ago. Was trapped in the chaos of a deceased persons estate where the executor didnt know or want to bother with the difficulty of selling it out of the mess, but i know a relative and we spent a couple weeks putting together the paperwork. Just giving you a backstory to basically say the truck sat trapped in paperwork untouched and deteriorating for that time. Plus side is its a one owner truck.
Anyway, got it started, did a lot of brake work, tires, fluids ,and now its running and driving.
Ive got a pretty noticable shudder over bumps, and a vibration at speeds over 20, that goes in and out the faster you go. Stays pretty constant, doesnt get more severe.
Tires are balanced and i have checked bearings and u joints. Shocks i have not done yet but plan to. First 4x4 vehicle, so curious if anyone has tips or comments on things i might be missing i should check.
