Help ! My Expy is driving erractically !!!
Hello Fellow Ford Members ,
My 99 Expy is pulling off the road under medium accelleration . Lets say your going 50 mph and you gas it to passing gear , the truck wants to pull off the road , its could be dangerous if you did not know . My steering wheel is off a tad too. This seem to happen after I pulled a junk car out the bushes in the back forty . I pulled it from the trailer hitch though and i was center to the vehicle . Most guys say I have bent rear control arm or a bad bushing . I cehecked it out and everything seems tight and its not noisy when hitting bumbs . Anybody heard of this happening before ? I am getting grossed out driving this thing and need to fix it . Truck has 130,000 and has always tracked straight with a perfectly centered steering wheel ? Any Suggestions ??
Thanks ,
Bodine

Have you brought the truck for a 4 wheel alignment?
Sound's to me like you skewed the alignement when pulling that junker out.
Find a good shop with a computerized laser alignment and throw it up on the rack.
I bet ya your way off.
Dont forget to rotate the ole tires after alignment.
