- 1999 Explorer XLT
Hello all! I am new to this forum and new to Ford Explorers.
I just got my green 1999 XLT 4door, automatic, 6 cyl.
For the most part, she is ok, needed a lot of TLC. I spent 2 days cleaning her up. 245,000 plus miles on rebuilt tranny.
I was thinking about changing trans oil and filters. What do you guys suggest as far as tranny fluid? Redline/synthetic?
My biggest problem is that she feels "loose," almost wandering on the road, not unsafe. Not really any wheel wobble. It feels like suspension or something. I just replaced the 2 front shocks w/ Gabriel high performance and will be replacing the 2 rear w/ KYBs! She already feels slightly better w/ the 2 new fronts. Will try to get rears done tomorrow. The 2front tires have some inner wear, so also suspecting alignment, she seems to pull to the right slightly.
Any suggestions on this problem? I will be getting alignment done after the rear shocks.
What about bushings? Could those be suspect also?
Thank you in advance!
