    Jerking while driving

    The power steering is fine now. Its not the steering thats jerking. Its the whole vehicle. Lime maybe that smaller wheel and tire are throwing off abs or shifting? It bucks like a damn bronco going town the road.

    Coolant leak!

    I've got an 08 ford explorer 4.0 XLT. pretty much stock except for a truxxx lift, k&n filter and E3 spark plugs. I've recently started leaking coolant.. bad. I'm assuming its lower intake gaskets, because there is a decent amount of coolant pooled up in the valley below the upper intake. I...

    Rear End Fluid.

    Thanks so much for the axle info! It was a great help and I have axle code 45 so I bought a regular synthetic gear lube by valvoine. It says it meets ford standards on the bottle so I think I'm gonna be fine. To bad I have an open diff though, explains my crappy performance in the mud lol...

    Rear End Fluid.

    I will check that axle code, but the thing I was questioning I guess is that the Royal Purple gear max says it has a friction modifier added to it. I was researching it on their website. I have an eddie bauer 04' awd. I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

    Rear End Fluid.

    Does anyone know if you can use a synthetic fluid in the front and rear diff? Like a royal purple or amsoil? I know with regular fluid you need the friction modifier, but I was wondering if you needed it with synthetic fuilds?

    rear end noise?

    is it the same for the front diff as it is for the rear? I just might do both.

    rear end noise?

    alright thanks! I'm going to try that and see if it helps, hopefully that does the trick cause I sure dont feel like paying for a new differential.

    rear end noise?

    I only hear this noise in the rear not in the front so thats what is kinda throwing me off.

    rear end noise?

    So I'm having an issue with my Ex. I get a low groaning/grinding noise whenever I'm pulling into a parking space. I only hear the noise when pulling into or reversing out of a parking space a low speeds, usually when ever I pull into or pull out of my parking spot at my apartment building (yes...
