- 2001 explorer sport trac
I recently got my 2001 Sport Trac. Already fixed a bunch of stuff due to previous neglect. Bought new tires and after 4 return visits the tire shop noted a large amount of endplay on the passenger side axle. I jacked it up and checked and sure enough, LOTS of endplay. I have heard about carrier pin wear, wear on the end of the axle shaft, worn c-clip, etc. My mechanic neighbor spoke of a rarely seen but true possibility of a cracked/broken carrier housing. I jacked up the ass end and had the wife put in drive. When she got to abou 30- 40 on the speedo, I heard a 'clunk' and watched the Pass. side wheel jump out about 3/4 inch. Any idea or experiences would be appreciated. I plan to jack it up and pull the diff cover to look this weekend.
