    Back right wheel feels like its bouncing

    Yeah it might come to that. I was hoping these Bilsteins would last more than just 15K miles though.

    Suspension Issues

    I've got a very similar issue I've been trying to track down with the rear right wheel. So far I cant see any suspension parts that look worn enough to really cause the problem. I've never thought the body mounts could be the casue, but I do know that some/most of mine looked like they were...

    Back right wheel feels like its bouncing

    I suppose I didn't inspect the tire too carefully. I'll give it a try

    Back right wheel feels like its bouncing

    End links weren't broken. They sure don't look brand new and I can spin/rotate them easily, but definitely not broken. Same for the sway bar bushings. Not new, but still there and I can't move the sway bar by hand or with a big pry bar.

    Back right wheel feels like its bouncing

    08 Expedition EL with approx 116K miles. Bilstein 4600s (I think thats the number) were installed approximatley 15k miles ago. Something feels off with the suspension and I cant figure out what's wrong. Feels like the right rear wheel continues bouncing too many times after hitting a bump...

    front bearings/hubs; any brands to avoid?

    Not sure how my thread devolved into this sort of conversation and despite my better judgement I'll continue to respond. I'm not acting like advice for the future is going to kill me. I started this thread specifically looking for future advice. I came to update with my results and your...

    front bearings/hubs; any brands to avoid?

    I get the intent, but I started this thread months ago looking for suggestions of brands to use or avoid. Little late to offer up input on that aspect of this conversation now that the job is done. I suppose when I exaggerated and said I used half a can of penetrating oil I opened myself up...

    front bearings/hubs; any brands to avoid?

    I doubt it was really half a can and there isn't much to help once the job is already done. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    front bearings/hubs; any brands to avoid?

    huh? You have a source for free parts or something? Using the penetrating oil sure did do something...it allowed me to complete the job and I didnt have to wait overnight. There would be absolutely no way to wrap the hub with a rag soaked in any sort of penetrating oil. The hub seizes in...

    front bearings/hubs; any brands to avoid?

    So I finally got around to dealing with this. Ordered up the front hub and went with the OE motorcraft piece. Got the car up in the air, and to my surprise I found some play in the rear left hub! Went and ordered up the motorcraft rear hub and got it installed yesterday. Was quite the PITA...

    Gear temp.

    How are you measuring the temp? When I tried to monitor trans temps using the Torque app the coolant and the transmission always read exactly the same temperature. Once I started using Forscan Lite I was able to see the transmission fluid was not the same exact temperature as the coolant!

    Drivers Mirror Replacement

    I didn't even realize the side mirrors had an auto-dim feature!

    Drivers Mirror Replacement

    Not really an answer to your specific question, but I used something like this once on the wife's Maxima and was very happy with the results. I left the old broken mirror in place and applied this right on top. Worked really well. No distortion like I expected I might find, and you couldn't...

    Going To Attempt Installation of iTBC in A 2011 Expy

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question. But the wiring for a brake controller is there under the dash already. Doesnt matter if you have the integrated brake controller that comes with the newer models or not. Looks like they were nice enough to add a relay into the newer ones so the...

    Gasoline smell, loss of fuel parked

    Not much help now, but I recently had to change my fuel pump and broke one of the plastic lock tabs. Not the small ones on the fuel filter (which I found on the shelf at autozone in the help! stuff, and also found out that new filters come with these in the box) but I broke the larger ones that...
