Ford Expedition steering wheel vibration issue despite previous alignment on Ford Expedition

Problem overview

Some Ford Expedition owners report experiencing steering wheel vibration, even after a previous alignment, which can be concerning. A common cause of this issue is unbalanced wheels, particularly noticeable at high speeds, where front wheel imbalance leads to stronger vibrations in the steering wheel, while rear wheel imbalance affects the vehicle's body. Additionally, low tire pressure is frequently cited as a reason for a shaking steering wheel, making it essential for owners to regularly check the tire pressure on all four wheels. Some owners also recommend inspecting the bearings by grabbing the tire at the 12:00 and 6:00 positions to identify any play, which could indicate issues such as rubbing or bearing problems. Furthermore, if vibration and noise occur specifically during acceleration between 52 and 57 mph, this may suggest a different underlying issue that requires further investigation. Addressing these factors is crucial for resolving the steering wheel vibration in a Ford Expedition.
