I have an 04 Mach 1 that is feeling really loose while driving.
The issue is while under acceleration,just normal the front of the car pulls to the left and feels as the rear pulls to the right and the front seems to lift slightly.
At the same time this happens I have to slightly pull the steering wheel to the right,when I lift off the throttle it returns to normal position.This is even more pronounced under heavy acceleration.
I am suspecting possible worn rear shocks,but I really dont know and see nothing wrong under the car when on stands.
Any ideas?
Additional car info.
Has about 80,000 miles.
Has original shocks on it and suspension.
around 2010 Ford install a complete rear end,housing gears.Re-installed my original brakes,rotors, calipers etc...but with 4:10 gears.Also used the original suspension parts.
During the summer I had an odd squeaking sound coming from the rear just behind the driver seat on driver side.I tried several times to locate it but was never able to since it would only do it while driving and sporatic at that.Was more noticeable under acceleration and when letting off throttle.It has then stopped but thats when the current issue seemed to produced itself,and I think it may be slowly getting worse.
I have checked everything I could but found nothing that stood out.I put wrenches on all the bolts I could find to make sure nothing was lose since the local Ford Techs are just awful here,they can do some really stupid things that make no sense.
I actually got into an argument with one when they did the rear,he was trying to tell me that the wheel sensors controlled the speedo and that while he was going 70mph all 4 wheels were turning the same speed so nothing was wrong.....WTF!
