Just checked that passenger wheel again. No play at all... Its just stuck in that negative camber position.

I recently noticed a pulsating vibration in the wheel whenever I'm on the highway (60-70 mph). When slightly turning left, it is more pronounced. So I went to check the bearings and they seem fine (no grinding noises and the wheel feels pretty solid). But I did notice that my front right wheel...

I will take some when I get home tonight.

I am installing a new head unit in my 2003 Ford Explorer XLS and I cannot figure out what the three connections are that come out of the back... The wiring harness that is recommended only hooks up to one of the connections. Are they anything important??? If so, what is the work around?

In the past month, my average mph has gone from 16-17 to 10. The only things that have changed are a set of 255's I just threw on untill I get 265-285's, and I did the airbox mod.... Any ideas why this is happening?? My average commute is about 40 miles a day (mostly highway).:(

Wills05xlt4x4: No shavings, looks fine... Any idea what the winding sound is? BigRondo: Thanks for pointing that out, got away with not cutting the dash thanks to a 85 y/o vet that hangs aroung the base auto shop here. MinVikesFan: You try the air box mod, BWM, and a new gas filter? helped...

I have had my '03 for almost a month (previously had a '98 XLT that was bulletproof) and Murphy's Law is kicking my a$$. So far, the bearings need replaced, leaking PS fluid from rack and pinions, blend door actuator failed, plastic piece in back has cracked, and im guessing that the humming...

Anybody have any extra/old lift blocks or wheel spacers lying around? I just bought an 03 XLS to mess around with, and I want to get it lifted with a wider stance ASAP... I'm looking forward to joining the modified explorer community.:salute:
