Default I need help With my '94 Lightning

Hey everyone- I am new to this site and it is because I am having serious problems with my fron suspension on my '94 F-150 Lightning. The problem is this. Front left tire is shaking and bouncing like I have a football shaped tire. It only happens around 35 to 45 mph and usually after I have hit a bump in the road. I have replaced the bearings. Turned the roters. Replaced the shocks and tires. I have stock rims and suspension.

I am at my wits end, please someone help me! I dont know what to do next, other than to go to the dealer for an inspection and I just do not feel that I could stand to be raped by them and I dont trust alot of the after market garages either........

Check tie rods,radius arms,and ball joints. My guess is that your problem is in one or more of these parts.

Hey- Thanks, I will check those out, but do you think it could possibly be the spindle bushings?

Thanks again for the tip.

I would check the balance of the tire as well. Look to see if it looks like you lost a weight.

I thought of that, Checked balance, its good. Even went as far as rotating the tire to see if the same tire would shack on the other side. Did not work, Still shakes on the same side with a new tire that has just been mounted and balanced. Thanks anyway.........
