I would get the wheels rebalanced and rotated at a tire shop. The abs and parking brake probally isn't your shaking issue, but could be. The reason why they are coming on is either an abs sensor or the abs computer. Auto zone can run your codes with a code reader. Most of the time the only shaking that will happen with the abs failing will happen when you apply the brakes .You could also have someone drive behind your van to see if they notice any issues with the wheels or anything else. Sometimes you have to point these mechanics in a direction. Check when the last time you replaced your brake shoes is to, you could have a warped rotor or some sort of damage in the brakes.
look at the bright side its much cheaper to get standard van probs fixed than mobility issues......... ron On Friday, July 18, 2014 5:28 PM, greg <[email protected]> wrote: Funny thing, my van was making a terrible raddle noise for a month. Like dragging a pop can. No one could find the issue. Finely, yesterday the steering wheel was shaking so bad. My attendant said it was too bad to drive. We stopped by the Ford dealer and they found the noise. A lug-nut was off, tumbling inside the hub cap. Still can't find the steering wheel shaking issue. If it was more than 1 lug-nut I could see the wheel wobbling, but the guy did not notice if any other were loose. The ABS and Parking Brake lights come on and off, so not sure if that could cause that. The shaking is also very intermittent. I would think a loose wheel would be constant. We also brought it to another mechanic first and they could not find the issue. They thought maybe the ABS brakes were firing off intermittently causing a shaking feeling. I bet they left off the lug-nut. It's still at the shop. So I hope they find the cause. Yesterday they couldn't so they kept it another day. It would be great if it was the lug-nut, lots cheaper.
