Hi guys


Im new here. Bought my 2017 Ranger last year. Had it for 8 months. I want to know if it’s common in Rangers this sort of year to be quite rocky. Every time it hits speed bumps on one of the front wheels be it left or right, it follows by a violet sway side to side as soon as the other one hits the bump. Basically if I hit the speed bumps around the corner or when the steering wheel isnt straight. And at very very low speed. This happened to me a lot in car park situations.

Another typical situation would be when I reverse out of someone’s driveway. As I reverse out of the driveway, it sways side to side as soon as one of front wheels touch the road and gets worse as soon as the other front wheels leaves the driveway and touch the road also.

Braking seems to be pretty slow to stop. And when braking your body seem to want to lean fwd and I wasnt even braking hard.

If I hit the speed bumps with both front wheels at the same time (driving straight) there seems to be 2-3 bounces before it stops completely.

Do you guys think I have shockies issue?

please help guys thanks.

Everything is stock standard. Only hv 20” wheels on. Thats it.

 

At 8 years old, new shocks would be a good place to start.
