This week I have been really feeling the road, I am not sure if anyone will understand what I mean by this, but mostly when I go through intersections I feel like my car is in a "divet" in the road and starts to lean as if it is about to flip. (I know explorers are top heavy, but this happens when I am going 35 - 40 mph, not 80 - 90 :)

What could be causing this? I know my vehicle is close to extinction (not all just mine) but if I feel the repair is worth it $$$ wise I will totally go for it!

Vague and confusing symptoms. Leaning while turning? If so, start by checking the front and rear sway bar end links.

I do not feel anything while turning. It feels fine then. I feel it mostly when the road is a little choppy or has been worn down just a little. Does that remove a little ambiguity?
Many auto repair, tire, or alignment shops offer free suspension inspections. Call around, most larger shops will do it.

Nice, I was unaware of this, I will call around and see what I can find.

how old are the shocks
 


















If they are original it will ride like a giant marshmellow.

I would not say it is that bad, as sometimes I do not feel it (or maybe I am used to it). I do feel that from time to time it is like I am floating tho.

shocks or maybe body mounts. Are you in a salt area?
