Hey Everyone,

Luckily I haven't had to post here since owning my Explorer. But today driving into work I noticed a scary wobble. It was raining hard here in Ohio and while driving on the highway I felt at many times I was going to lose control due this wobble.

I would say it might be a bearing but we just had them all replaced and I jacked it up (in the rain) just to check and all 4 wheels are stable. It almost felt like a 4 wheel aquaplane or the abs kicking in violently for no reason. It happen a few times and it seemed like the back end swung out at one point.

(I was stupid at a younger age in a BMW 325, So luckily I had some control)

I have the 4.0 4x4 and I was wondering if anyone else has had this or knows maybe what could be cause this. It seems to only be happening in the rain.
 






As for an abs issue, I have no idea. Have you checked the condition of your harmonic balancer?
 






When mine was wobbling, it was one of the rear bearings and the wheel was shaky by hands.
