slow speed front end wobble.....

which gets less as speed increases but there is a hard pull to the right .....do the Rangers suffer from early tie rod failure like the F series ? Tires are 8 months old ,maybe 8 thousand miles ,check inflation weekly ...can't feel any bad belts in them.....thanks for any opinions....

Alignment perhaps? As the vehicle's speed increases, it doesn't lessen, just gets so fast you don't notice it as easy. The pull to the right in my truck was a mis-alignment caused by meeting a brick mailbox. You been in any sort of incident that impacted the front suspension?

If it does what you say when you say it does it I bet on a seperated tire.
That will cause the low speed wobble and the pull.
Jack it up and spin it while looking at it straight on.

The last time I had this happen it was a tire problem. Felt like driving on an egg shaped wheel at low speeds.
