Explorer Ride
Hi all. I just bought a '99 Explorer w/59000 miles on it. The wife and I like it, but I'm wondering if they all ride sort of rough or if it's just due for new shocks. Other than that, it's great.

I had a 98' now I have an 02'. To compare the two I liked the 98's ride much better felt more like a truck and not like a car. The 02' seems to isolated and soft. When I bought my 98' I felt like I could do anything to it and I did I beat the hell out of it. This 02' just feels like it wont take the abuse I am going to give it. I have a lready broken the sway bar link and sway bar up front and I have only had for 2 months. The front left brake pad was damaged by a stone and cracked. This one may not be around as long as my 98' was.
