#13 of 20 Violent shaking by antmarin

Mar 31, 2010 (10:24 pm)

I have a 2000 ford explorer xlt. 2wd. I recently installed new brakes and rotors installed. The minute I drove off , I turned the wheel and started shaking bad. It drives ok when you are driving but as soon as I hit a bump it started shaking pretty badly, as I slowed down to about 25 mph. It stopped. But when slowly turning it shakes again. New brakes, new rotors, new tires, new alignment, and still shaking...

#15 of 20 2003 Explorer Sport 2dr 4x4 - Limited Slip Differential question by ebsavelle

Jul 19, 2010 (2:01 pm)

My previous 2001 Explorer Sport was able to accept some factory parts to make the standard Rear End become a Limited Slip Rear. Now that I am buying a 2003 version, can I do the same? I don't believe there was ever an actual option, but my local Ford Dealer did the mod and it's been awesome. Is the Rear the same?

I bought the 2006 explorer and am experiencing the same issues. I thought I just needed the alignment done & rotate/balance the tires. I still have a shakey vehicle if I am going over 60....what else could it be? the car fax shows only 1 previous owner & no accidents....

I will be upset if I buy 4 new tires and still have this issue...
