problem #1

Oct 011999

Explorer

  • miles
While turning right / left the vehicle vibrates in the rear of the vehicle. Dealer says it's normal. Also, while test driving vehicle dealer claimed it acted like the clutches in the position unit were grabbing. So they added a friction modifier to rear differential and transfer case. Problem somewhat diminished, but not entirely solved.
