So I took the ol' blaze on her first trip the other day and just got back tonight. Well the place was 2 hours away about 110 miles nonstop driving. She ran great except for front end wobble it get from 60-70 mph. Also anytime you are driving and hit any type of bump, you can hear what sounds like a jar of coins being shaken coming from the front end. Im thinking Im in need of front end rebuild? What causes the speed wobble? The lil' 2.8 ran great, there was a really REALLY steep hill I had to climb and that 2.8 struggled but made it. When I arrived at my destination 2 hours away, I noticed for example when I gas it to leave a red light, you can feel like 2 or 3 sumbtle pops, it not like when a u joint goes bad, it does it when your up to 5 going to 10 mph then runs smooth as butter again. Weird dunno what could be doing this. Any help on my questions is appreciated. O I almost forgot, highway mileage is GREAT!! filled her up at home and 2 hours later, tank was barley 1 mark under full! Im lovin' it!

 

any ideas on my little probs??

Could be a number of things. UCA/LCA bushings, tie rods, ball joints, idler/pitman arms, bearings/hub assembly, tbar bushings (if you have a 4X4), bad alignment, tires need balancing and the list can go on and on.

Either you need to crawl under there and start checking things out or have someone else do it. Replace what is bad and go from there.

 

ok it was sway bar bushings, replaced those and now front end sound is gone
