What's your first suggestion to look at on the suspension?
I replaced the sway bar links and front sway bar bushings and have the rear bushings for the sway bar on order as I have 148,000 on the clock...and we're getting ready to load for Florida
Tie rod ends?
Only happens at speed on the expressway or at least that's when I really feel it.
Any input would be appreciated.
 






Get an alignment check.
 






yea, an alignment check would catch bad tie rod ends, assuming a decent shop.... I did have an alignment once just before yearly emmisions/inspection. The shop saw it was way and and corrected it.... ignoring the fact that both tie rod ends were noticeably bent...
 






my older mountaineer has a slow leak in the rear tire and how I know when it is low would be at highway speeds the trucks starts to sway side to side.
