Ok so I've had a wheel wobble problem with both rear tires on my 99 Mountaineer, RWD, auto, 5.0.
I noticed the vehicle was swaying side to side in the rear so I jacked it up and let the rear wheels spin and sure enough I could see both rear wheels wobbling, but the driver side was the worst.
I have sinced replaced:
tires
shocks (including axle damper shock)
bushings
axles
Axle bearings and seals
rotors (including pads and brake shoes)
I still have wheel wobble. It isn't as bad since I installed new axles but it is still doing it. The new axles had the biggest improvement. Each of the parts I've replaced needed replaced anyway. It looked like the previous owner had never done any maintenance. The rear does feel
The only part I haven't touched that I thought might effect this problem is the leaf springs. The shackles look ok though. They don't appear to be loose, broke, or shimmy when the tires are spinning.
Is this just normal for this vehicle to have a wheel wobble in the rear?
