I have had a front end knock/wobbling noise on my 96 Explorer Limited for over a year now and I cant find where it is coming from. I will do my best to try to describe it. The knocking noise sounds like it is coming from the left side suspension area. It is only really noticeable if I am doing 10mph or less as when i am up to speed it is too loud to hear the knock. Also i can feel it through the steering wheel. Now hear is the tough part, it is really only noticeable when the outside temp is warm(above 50-60 degrees), when it is colder out I cann't really hear or feel it. It sounds like something is loose on the left side but I cannot track down where it is coming from. I had the lower ball joints replaced a little over a year ago along with the brakes and it went away for a little while but then returned. My buddy is a service manager at a local Ford dealer so I stopped over to have a tech take it for a ride and he definitely heard the knock/wobble noise. I had it there this week and they said it was and replaced the outer tie rod ends and the sway bar end links but this did not fix it. What do you guys think, any opinions. thanks
