Noises problem
1997 Ford Explorer 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic 200K miles
I HAVE NOTICED FOR THE PAST MONTH OR SO, THAT WHEN I DRIVE AT A CONSISTENT HIGH SPEED-IE 110km/h AND HIGHER, THAT A 'CYCLICAL' VIBRATION COMES AND GOES. IT HAS BECOME LOUDER IN THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AND I BELIEVE IT IS COMING FROM THE FRONT END. I DID TAKE IT IN TO HAVE THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME TO GET AN ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE. SO I DID. THE PROBLEM DID NOT GO AWAY. I HAVE FITTED NEW TYRES, REPLACED THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL HUB AND REPLACED ALL BRAKE PADS THE VIBRATION COMES ON GRADUALLY, PEAKS AT A LOUD VIBRATION AND THEN GRADUALLY CYCLES DOWN TO QUIET, AND THEN COMES AGAIN..IT IS VERY REGULAR, AND ONLY NOTICEABLE AT THE HIGHER CONSISTENT SPEEDS. ANY IDEAS? DO I NEED TO REPLACE THE OTHER FRONT WHEEL HUB OR COULD THERE BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS SENSOR OR MOTOR? THANKYOU FOR YOUR ASSSISTANCE
