vibration
i have a vibration from the front end at 65 mph. its 4x4 '91. its not constant however, sometimes at 65 it will run smooth, but most of the time it vibrates. i had all tires relbalanced, front end alignment, and rotors recut, and new brakes in the rear. what else could be the cause of this wierd vibratrion?

Check out this TSB from Ford regarding vibration:
Make: FORD TRUCK
Service Bulletin Number: 95218
NHTSA Item Number: SB046481
Component: ENGINE:MOUNTS
Summary:
A VIBRATION/SHAKE MAY BE FELT IN THE SEAT AND/OR FLOOR AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH (80 KM/H) AND PEAKING NEAR 65 MPH (105 KM/H) ON SOME VEHICLES. AN 'AFTER SHAKE' CONDITION MAY ALSO EXIST WHEN DRIVING OVER A BUMP AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 45 MPH (72 KM/H). INSTALL NEW DESIGN LH AND RH ENGINE MOUNTS AND REAR AXLE-TO-FRAME LATERAL SHOCK ABSORBER.
I'm not sure if this will help or not but I have seen other postings about this problem and by adding these mounts it does help. Here is a link to check out:

This is one of the best pages I've found on the web for curring ills with Explorers. Good luck!

I'm not sure of the part numbers. From what I've read you should probably go in to the dealer and see if maybe you can get a hold of the TSB. If not, follow the Recalls/TSBs link on the main page and pay for this particular TSB. The info. I provided is based on just what I've read.
