front wheel hop
front wheel hop
I posted this in suspension and thought it would be a better fit in here.
Hi all I just bought a 2005 150 KR screw 4x4 with 26000 miles. First of all I love this truck in which I traded a 2003 supercab lariat flareside in on. I have looked at alot of posts on here about steering nimble and they almost all can be attributed to wheel balancing. I do see a minor steering wheel shake at 65-70 mph, very minor and something I can live with. My problem is that when I hit more than one bump like a small washboard on either front tire at a time my wheels feel like they are turning in and out and the steering wheel goes back and forth almost like it is trying to throw my hand off it. It is like the front suspension has excess bounce going over small minor bumps and kinda throws my truck. It does feel like it is all in the front end and not the rear bounce that trucks seem to have due to being light. My old truck never did this wheel hopping or whaterver it is at all. Doe anyone have this problem and does anyone know if there is a fix for it? I do plan to take it back to the shop where I bought it and have them check it out when it's ready for my free oil change. Thanks all
