I need help with how my 96 Explorer 4x4 is driving. From 30 mph up to highway speeds there is a bad vibration in the steering wheel.
Had the tires rebalanced, had the alignment checked but they were not able to do the work because the upper ball joints need replacing. Could this be causing the crappy ride.
One friend suggested that my wheel bearings were on their way out but the guy at the shop felt they were in good shape because they were not making any noise.
Does anyone have any suggestions? My dad thought that there might be a problem in the engine/transmission, but other than the vibrations the transmission shifts and runs fine. All other suspension parts are in good shape.
Help needed. Thank you all in advance.
