Battling how to get an insanely hard-to-find 3rd Gen rear toe compensator link, aka rear tie-rod ends, etc, for factory, 16 inch wheels. I was pointed to Rock Auto, but they sent me a bent one, so not eager to use them again...

Noise coming from rear left tire! Help!
I have put new rotors, calipers, & pads on the rear of my '05 Explorer. Also new sway bar links & bushings. But I still have a noise whining or winding noise that comes (& goes, which makes it even harder to diagnose) from the rear wheels, especially the driver's side. Any thoughts?!

Why does my 05 4×4 Explorer shift fine if the rear differential needs replaced?

Will I be okay to put 235-60-R16s on my 2005 4×4 Explorer XLT if it calls for 235-70-R16s?

Update: I can stand on my rear bumper, rock the hell out of it, meaning my '05 Explorer, & I don't hear anything so long as it's off & in park. But once you start it & put it in drive... I can stand on the rear bumper, rock the truck, & I can hear the squeaking quite clearly, meaning the squeaking in the rear I've heard while driving it. Could it be my rear brakes???

I currently have a loud squeaking racket coming from the rear end of my 2005 4×4 Explorer XLT, I've hung my head out the passenger rear window, & it very clearly was coming from the rear passenger wheel well. I had an independent mechanic look at it, & he said nothing appeared to be wrong w/the suspension, but I don't know him well enough to trust him. I think it's the rear passenger strut myself. What could it be?!

2005 Ford Explorer just had new glass installed all the way down the driver's side, but now, sometimes my door ajar light stays on. But a light knock on the driver door sometimes makes it go away. Any input greatly appreciated!
