- 2002 Ford Explorer XLS
Hi Everybody
I have a 02 Ford Explorer :exp: XLS 4X4 with 87K on it. Recently I have noticed a noise coming from the rear end. I can hear the noise from about 15mph and up its consistent with the speed of the vehicle. I can hear the noise with windows up radio off and the climate control fan on 2nd setting. This happens all the time and is not intermittent, I can coast, brake, accelerate and corner the sound is always consistent with my speed. Its sounds like a tire, maybe a snow tire, but I have had my tires checked and they are fine.
I had one rear bearing on the right side replaced and installed a new tire and the noise is still there unchanged. I know I will need to change the left side wheel bearing at some time, but right now I would like advise on what I should be checking and inspecting to try and diagnose this problem my self.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
