Well I normally listen to my music loud enough to keep out the road noise, but one day i figured i'd check and see if it sounded good. Well I hit the brakes and it lets out a little thunk from hte rear. I let go of the rakes and pushed them again, and thunk... and also, my speedometer.. instead of moving up nicely, it it choppy, but after a bit of driving it goes back to normal. And finally, it feels like the wheels are wiggling around... I'm worried.

check the hardware in your rear brakes

your speedometer cable needs lubing

what do you mean WIGGLING?

I'll be driving then it'll feel like the wheels loose. hmm, hees what i mean. Normal tires are straight like this | Well they feel lkike they're going like / or \ .

How are your wheel bearings and are your locking nuts torqued properly.

If by "wiggling around" you mean toe change on power/off power then it's going to be the front anti-roll bar bushings .. the front antiroll bar locates the lower control arms ,, a bushing kit is about $11 at Ford (aftermarket pieces can be ordered at any auto parts store) ...
