1995 Mountaineer Vibration

A friend of mine is looking at buying a 1995 Mountaineer 5.0 AWD and when he test drove it there was a vibration in the front end. The vebration isn't all that bad and it still drives good. What are some of the possiblilties of what the problem could be and a general rough estimate of what it may cost to fix it?

Most likely it's either tires, or the front driveshaft (common problem)

Is the front driveshaft hard to fix?

Easy to fix, just a very expensive part.

Another possibility is if there is air in the power steering it can cause a pretty nasty steering vibration, especially on light turns.

1995 Mountaineer - Sorry, they were not produced until 1997.

Could be CV joints, ball joints or wheel bearings.
