A wheel alignment is probably needed

It's probably a wheel alignment issue. You should get it fixed As soon as possible. A noticeably misaligned car can be very dangerous during an evasive maneuver. It's also going to ruin your tires.

Have a shop check the suspension

  • Why does my ford ranger squeak when I hit bumps? Recently when I have hit bumps with my 2007 Ford ranger it has made a squeaking noise. It does not make it when I hit potholes, just little bumps. I don't hear the noise when I try to push down on the truck. Any ideas on what the noise could be, and how I could fix it?
  • 2007 Ford Ranger rear end jerks on acceleration after a downshift at about 20 MPH? 2007 Ford Ranger 28,000 miles, 8.8" Rear axle 3:18 gears auto trans. Every now and then when I accelerate from around 20 MPH and the truck downshifts there's a small jerk in the rear end a second after the downshift. Is this normal? I just bought the truck and never had RWD before. If someone knows what the problem is that would be awesome!

  • Ford 8.8 rear end problem? In my crown vic I picked up a used ring gear and pinion and both were in good shape so I swapped in them in place of my stock gears I used the same bearings and factory shims just a gear swap no overhaul since it wasn't needed now I got it all together and there's a noise coming from the rearend its not exactly a whine but the only thing i'm unsure of was setting the pinion. Would that cause a noise?
