agk321 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Hey there! i have a 2007 MKZ with a little over 109,000 miles. A few months ago I was driving on the interstate and getting off at an exit (so around 25-30mph) when I noticed this violent shaking from the front passenger tire (and no shaking from my steering wheel) and thought I had gotten a flat. Pulled over and everything with my tire looked fine. It never did it after that until two weeks ago when I was driving around 40mph and the same shaking came back again. It happened right after I went over a pot hole so naturally I thought it was a flat, but my tire is still fine. Now it happens at random times and speeds, and also more frequently. The only thing that’s been the same is that it happens about 10-15 minutes into driving. I just took it to the mechanic and they took out the ABS sensor but it didn’t work. Any suggestions?

Multitask Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 So they removed the ABS? Hmm... Could be a bearing, or struts going bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agk321 Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 Quick question: if the struts or a bearing is bad, is that something that’s easily visible? Or would they have to take things apart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know how you make out and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multitask Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I agree... take it to a tech... let them figure out what it is. As has been said, diagnosing over the internet does not always mean it's best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
