front end wobble

[04nbx]

I have an 04 nbx expedition that gets a wobble every time I hit a pothole or even turn somewhat abruptly... the truck has 150k on it and this seems to be a pretty common issue, so I was wondering if anyone who has had this problem can point me in the right direction before I start replacing random stuff....also it does it right around 50 mph....

Thanks in advance

Rather than replacing random stuff as it sounds like you do your own work I would spend a few dollars and take it to a good mechanic and have him go over the front end and let you know what it needs.

Yeah that's my plan I just wanted to see if it was a particular part on these trucks that cause since it seems as a common problem..thank u

Like Roxy said, any good alignment shop should be able to pin point the problem pretty easy. On my '03 the main culprits were the lower ball joints and the inner tie rods. Those are the high wear parts on the front end.

Thank u I will keep that in mind I already sent it to my long time mechanic I'll make sure he gives it a thorough look

Anyone else? My mechanic took a look at everything and said everything seems to be in good shape... He is gonna replace the struts and shocks because it seems that most likely those never got replaced but any more input will be highly appreciated....

Thanks in advance
