Hello all,
I have a 2002 Ford Explorer with 52,000 miles in it. It has the 4.0 v6, the towing package and automatic 4x4.
When I make a turn to the right or left at slow speeds there is a substantial vibration when accelerating. If I make the same turn without accelerating there is no (or very little) vibration. It only happens when the turn is more than a few degrees. Turns made at any substantial speeds do not cause this vibration, I suspect because I never turn sharply when at high speeds.
Examples of when it is felt Turning at an intersection. (with acceleration) Pulling out of a parking space accelerating on entrance/exit ramps.
Before you suggest it. I am NOT turning too sharply. These are normal turns. In fact if I turn very sharply there is NO vibration.
I am not a mechanic and just do not want to get ripped off. Any suggestions what type of mechanic I should take it to? General, Transmission, Dealer, etc?
Any suggestions on the cause of this issue?
Thanks Brad
