Hi everyone,
I am trying to get my Dad's Explorer handling right.
We've had a 1996, 1998 and now the 2001.
This one just does not handle well at all.
WAY too much "bounce" in the ride.
It has always been "bouncy" but it is also "squirrely" side-to-side.
Hit some expansion joints on a bridge last month and almost lost it at 70!
I don't want this to happen :roll:
The truck has 137,000 miles but had new rear shocks put on last year (115,000) along with new rear sway bar link and bushings.
I'm not sure about the fronts.
Tires are GY Wrangler RT/S P255/70R16.
What can we do to screw this baby down? Front and rear.
Should ride like a truck, not a Lincoln!
Can we make this handle better?
HD shocks or what do you suggest?
Thanks!!!!
