I have a 2003 explorer,v8 4x4. I have owned in since December and have had no problems, it has 66k miles on it.
For the last few months, maybe even 6 months or heck, even when I bought it, there has been this intermittent squeak occuring. I only noticed at the beginning of this summer, but really realized it this weekend that there was in fact a squeak occuring and that I may have even heard it in the spring or winter.
The squeak is defintly coming from outside and from the rear of the car. It occurs every 12 to 20 seconds no matter what speed I am driving. It is just a quick little "squeak!" that is very noticable with the windows down but can still hear it with the windows up but it is not as noticable.
I tested this weekend, it seems no matter how fast or slow I drive, curves I take or bumps, the squeak still sounds the same and occurs at the same 12 to 20 second intervals.
The explorer has a warranty on it that I bought when I bought the car used, can I just take it to any dealership? Or does it have to be the same one I bought it from? The one I bought it from is a long ways away and rather not make the long drive.
I hope someone can tell me what is wrong, perhaps a wheel bearing? But I would have thought it would have gone out by now, any bearing I would think.
Thank you
