OK, Good afternoon all.
Quick question, my daily driver started a really weird symptom yesterday
on my way to church. It seems that at low speed, turning the wheel a
little bit creates a pretty major vibration in the front end. This
happens even with the truck on the lift. I checked the power steering
fluid and that is fine. I don't know how to further diagnose this problem
and I can't find anything on-line to look for.
Note, I drove the truck home w/out a problem on Thurs. Then, during the
day on Fri, I manually moved the truck without starting the engine (I
turned the key to unlock the steering, then I put it in neutral and pushed
the truck forward (and turned the wheel).) I had to move it back an forth
a few times like this. Then, when I started the truck friday night, I
noticed the shacking immediately.
So I'm guessing I caused this issue when I turned the wheel with the truck
off. Any ideas? This is a 2001 Ford Explorer with 210,000 miles on it.
(I know, but it still looks new!) 8>) I'd love to be able to fix this
before Easter.
Thanks again.
