Reload this Page steering stabilizer disconnected???

Ford Explorer Ford Explorer is a midsize SUV with body-on-frame construction. Available with V6 or V8 power, the Explorer competes against the TrailBlazer, Grand Cherokee, 4Runner, and Pathfinder. Explorer was completely redesigned in 2006 and we were pleased with the new steering, new suspension, and new brakes, all of which were vastly improved over the previous-generation.

Was it disconnect at the stabilizer links, many times they fail and fall apart.

Yea, the links themselves are crap. I'm assuming your talking about the sway bar that connects to the lower control arm... They are about 40 bux and are easy as pie to replace!

If you can, you should post up a picture, just to make sure everybody is talking about the same thing.

There's a place I know about, where the dirt road runs out, and we can try out the 4 wheel drive..come on now, what do you say?
I've got the perfect place in mind, it's in the middle of nowhere, only one way to get there, you got to get a little mud on the tires.
