- '93 exploder limited 5spd
So i acquired a 93 explorer limited about six months ago with 175,x.. miles on it, i replaced a few electrical things on it , and it ran and drove great for a few weeks. after awhile i noticed the steering was acting funny, it will do fine at a low speed at about 40-45 mph if i get in to a hard turn or turn the wheel sharp the truck will kind of wonder in the direction i want then "snap"around almost feeling like an over steer. crawled under it with a pry bar and the ball joints feel tight, so i replaced the radius arm bushing, still didnt help then replaces axle pivot bushing, nothing. front springs replaced with variable rate coil springs from moog, still didnt help. replaced rear shocks with air helper shocks, nothing. now front bearings, still no luck. there is zero play between steering wheel and tires with engine off, all the bushing i replaced came from energy suspensions, bearings are timkin. ive have second options about the ball joints from a few guys at work and a four by shop here in town. this isnt my first TTB from that ive had, first was a '89 b2 then i had a '86 full size bronco and neither one of them did anything like this. im tearing out my hair trying to figure this out, i love this little truck, but i cant keep driving it the way it is. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!
