It could be worn parts in the front end. Ball joints, shocks, wheel bearings, bushings or just being out of alignment. Take it to a good alignment shop and have them inspect it.

I have a 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4x4 4.6L V8, i drive for work a lot, the other week i am going down the highway at about 70mph and start to switch lanes ( turning slightly to the left) on a left turning curve, all of a sudden my steering whell breaks over slightly and i hear a intermitent grinding noise. When i turn back to the right the noise stops. Now tonight on my way home i am driving straight down the road and my whole truck starts to wobble extremely hard, i mean the front is moving left and the rear is moving right and going back and fourth until i turn the wheel to the left or right. Im not sure what it could be possible wheel bearings? ball joints? something in the steering? 19 Answers
