I put in a new radiator yesterday. it ran fine.still leaks a little but w/e, Im fixing that today , its simple, but, that's not the problem.
My problem is , I took it out this morning , and when i turn right , even if im moving at 2mph , it vibrates , and i see the wheel shaking too.....
what could it be?
I have power steering fluid , I ddidnt mess with aqnything..
it only shakes when i turn right.....
Im going to take it to a mechanic if i dont figure this out soon...
Im trading it off for a nice 95 civic Hatch once the explorer is ready 2 go
if it is front wheel drive you probably have a bad cv joint or a bad inner driver. possibly a bad wheel bearing but it would growel all the time
its a rear wheel drive Ford Explorer
check the power steering pump/r&p whichever one your car has
Did you lift the front tires off of the ground for any reason? You might have air in system that will work it's way out. It is pretty common when the explorers are placed on the ground after being serviced in the shop. Make sure you are using type "F" automatic transmission fluid in the power steering system. Dextron will work as well Type "F" is better

Chuck...you da man, before I was done reading the post I thought the same. 14 years in a Ford store will ruin ya. ;D
it hasnt been lifted for anything lol. Im going to see if i just take it to a mechanic , I dont live with my parents anymore and they have all the tools in Lehigh acres , which is 2 hours away lol.
Bad CV joint or Ball joint
If it was not lifted, more than likely you have 3 options
1) the power steering pressure switch may be bad
2) wrong fluid was used
3) bad rack and pinion
look closely at the first to choices as they are the least expensive
so... the problem fixed itself , idk how so dont ask.
But im definitely not driving her , until its Bye Bye time.
Hopefully she's gone this weekend lol.
