Great info. Can I ask you a question about something completely different. I have a 2001 Ford explorer, that has what I have come to find out what is caused death wobble. I have thrown 600.00 at the front end and they ,, the mechanic said he fixed it, but NOPE still doing it. Everytime I have come to your channel I have ALWAYS followed your info, and the problems have been fixed. Could you PLEASE, help me with this. When I'm going 40 to 65 it will be driving fine, and if you hit just the right bump ,, I guess ,, it starts into a wobble that scares me to death, thought I was going to die. There's a hole in my seat where my butt took a bite out of it. It will start wobbling violently, and the steering wheel will almost shake out of my hand, soon as you slow down to about 25 or 30 mph it stops. The mechanic says he has done the whole front end, tie rods, ball joints, idler arm, stabilizer. Dear God please help me. As I take care of my ex wife who is a 2 x stroke victim, and I have to have something safe to get her around. I am disabled so I live off a small ssdi check and can't afford to just keep throwing money at parts, and can't afford to buy another vehicle, again please help me out. God bless you for all your help.

Did you get your wheels checked to see if they are balanced properly? If the wabbles go away after a certain speed it is probably a bearing somewhere in the drivetrain. Good luck, I hope you can get it fixed.

@kevinbelknap7730 4 жыл бұрын

If there is a shock running cross ways in front end, it is a steering damper. Older vehicles had them. When they went bad you hit a bump and steering wheel would go back and forth violently. Scary ride for sure.

It's more helpful to watch all the with video with out skip part of with video or with fast speed .
