I got an idea!

That's what my 3 year old says all the time. Mine is - I'll trade my 1993 Explorer for a wife that is one. Current one is broken and there is no maual to fix her. I have looked. My Explorer is doing pretty good these days. Now that I have full throttle again and the highway shimmy is much reduced. The truck has to be worth at least a part time wife that shows up to help with dinner 3 times a week, can find the trash can at least once a week and oh yeah - one that gives in once a year! Help please! Is this the right forum?....

She probably needs new ball joints and sensors. Mine has a lot of miles on her but she still runs great. You DO have to maintain them though. It can take a lot of work to keep them running smoothly.

I know where this is going and I will not open the box. My wife is sitting next to me and she has something really sharp. LOL

And I will refrain from my appropriate response.

Exclamation

BTW check out my avatar. It turns out that my Explorer is the poster child for sick cars at Auto Zone! I stole it from their "Error" message page. That explains why I spend more time with the folks at Auto Zone than I do with my family! They ought to give me a discount for using my car in their ads (it's also the car you can only see a glimpse of on their main pages).
