Kind of a bump. But I also changed fluid in the rear diff again a couple of nights ago. Less than a year ago and the oil was very black. I put more 75-140 Lucas Synthetic in than I took out (wonder if the guy that replaced the axle bearing seal filled it after?). It quieted down quite a bit...

Sounds like a cv joint/axle.

Ok, I've got an 02 w/4.6L, LSD (I think). I changed the trans filter and fluid 9 months ago, shifts smoother, and I also replaced the rear diff fluid with Mobil 1 synthentic 75-140. I had the left rear axle seal replaced shortly after replacing the fluid as I noticed the leak when I was...

Went by the garage and they said the code indicated no signal from the abs sensor on the front left, took the one off the old bearing and put it on. didn't seem to help, still getting the abs light. Oh, and BTW, I've sent 4 messages to "partsman888", the seller on ebay about warranty claim...

Huh? Sorry, not tracking with you?

+1 to check the bulbs first. Always try the cheap and easy things first.

Here's a great link on the site. I just changed out my fluid and tranny filter on my 02 with about 150K on it. Not that I had serious issues with my tranny but it shifts so much more smoothly now. It has to be good for it to change it out. The amount of "sludge" sitting right below the...

Absolutely wheel bearing. There is a great thread on here how to change out, I just did both of mine, one twice in about 3 days because the new bearing seals went out and it went bad in 3 days. Not nearly as difficult as it sounds. Buy a deeply offset 15mm wrench (I bought a whole set of...

My 02 has never sprayed washer fluid out on the rear window. I could hear motor running but nothing. I accidently hit the rear washer switch the other day when my son was in the 3rd row seat and he said there was washer fluid coming out at the bottom of the right side rear (as opposed to the...

Thanks Gudde! I called the local dealerships to ask about reading the codes, one was going to charge $149 the other $89 to just read the codes. I called a local mechanic I've used and he said he would read them for free for me. I'm going to do that tomorrow and assuming one of the two new...

The last couple of months of the year, my front left wheel bearing had started howling and I knew it was time to change it out and bought a new bearing off of ebay that sat in the garage for the last month of that time. I had replaced it about a year and a half ago so I knew the symptoms. The...

The recommendation to disconnect the battery did the trick for me, thanks!!!! DavidS, I don't know if this is your problem as I never got an error message and my electric seat adjustment worked OK. Here is what you could do to give it a try for free. Make sure you have all of your key...

Could it be a fuse? In looking at chilton's looks like 2 or 3 fuses feed the main control unit, wondered if one of them supports the radio receiver portion that gets the signal from the wireless key fob? Where is the main control unit and or the relays located?

My keyless entry on my 02 quit working. The keypad works, all doors lock and unlock fine when using buttons inside, I've tested the remotes, put new batteries and retested at the parts store, indicating that they are working OK. I've tried the reprogram procedure and everything works as it...

Mine made a "roaring" kind of noise at highway speeds that got worse and better as I kind of veered right or left.

OK guys. I've jacked it up, pulled the tires. I can't tell that there is anything wrong with the tie rod ends. No looseness in any direction (latitudinal or longitudinal) when I pull and jerk around on them. As I mentioned initially, I've not noticed any looseness or noises in the steering...

Thanks for the feedback. Are there any good posts here on that procedure? I'm guessing my Haynes may not have that kind of detail but will look shortly. Regarding Shawnee, abode at K7 and Johnson Drive.

My high school? Little town of Pomona.

Anytime/anywhere, same symptoms.

It's a 2002 4.6L XLT. When I first joined, I had the 99...guess I need to update that.

Getting the car in and out of park, into drive, can be difficult and things seem to be kind of "out of line". I'm used to it but it isn't right. The other day it was parked in the driveway, turned off, on a slight incline away from the house, getting something out of the hatch area, kind of...

Hey punkinhead, where are you seeing a wheel bearing "KIT"? I took my 02 in to my mechanic to have mine pressed in. I'm not sure what the "kit" consists of but...?

I'm picking up the ends tonight, probably spend some quality time on the garage floor this weekend. I had a 99xlt previously. There are so many things different on the 02, I'm wondering if there is any similarity between the 98 vintage and the 02 steering parts. Do your inner tie rod ends...

Nobody's done the inner tie rod end replacement? I have a Haynes or Clymer and it doesn't even show an inner tie rod end replacement.

Sounds to me like they haven't been bled correctly or completely. That is very dangerous!
