Hey folks, Hoping to use some collective experience and brainpower to diagnose an issue. I've done extensive searching about clicks and rattles coming from the front end, but nothing that quite describes this. Nothing seems broken, it's just driving me insane. But I finally got it audible on...

Hi, I have a 1997 Explorer, XLT, V8 at 105k Miles. I just had this unpleasant experience on the highway today on a long trip. White smoke started coming out from the front. I pulled to the emergency lane and saw that the smoke was coming from the radiator side. Everything looked fine, no check...

I've been going crazy trying to figure out what is causing this insane popping/Creaking noise front my front drivers side. I've recently noticed it only happens when I'm turning my steering wheel right, even if it's just slightly. Even yesterday I just parked and rocked the car side to side and...

Hi. I've got a 2015 Explorer, XLT which includes the tow package. My question is what are people using or adding to act as tie-downs at the front? It looks like I could loop rope onto something (not sure what it's called) under the front just behind the rad off to the sides. Thanks in advance!!

Hello: I've got a 2000 Explorer 4x4 that the passenger side front caliper was locking up. We bought this used and drive it quite a bit so I bought new calipers, rotors, pads and hoses. Everything went on great except for the hoses. The originals were twisted and the repair manual says they...
