Hello,
I recently bought a 1997 ford ranger 2.3 5 speed.
I upgraded the tires to 31" BFG A/T and after installing noticed the extreme rub.Turns out my whole front suspension was sagged/gone to crap. I spent the money and got everything fixed in the front suspension, the works- shocks, struts, etc, etc. Everything was looked over so wasn't worried.
Come driving time, it seems that every time I go over a bump or hit a pothole, I swerve to the right ALOT. When I mean a lot I'm talking a good 3 or 4 feet to the right. I almost crashed into the curb going about 50mph and it scares the daylights out of me. I'd hate to be going on the highway and hit a pothole and roll over, or cause someone else's property to be damaged or hurt someone.
I can't seem to find out what's wrong, but have noticed that one of my tires (drivers side rear) wobbles a little bit, and seems to be cambered in. I don't think the place I took it to did a rear alignment when I got the suspension fixed andI don't think it's the front suspension as everything is brand spanking new.
Alignment? Not sure if it's rear suspension or I need a new sway bar? Any advice would help. I guess best thing would be is to take it in.
Thanks for input.
