    Rear Suspension Clunk In Reverse

    In my 05 explorer 2wd, I get a really loud clunk when we first back out of the driveway and turn the wheel to the left. I replaced the rear drivers halfshaft 3 yrs ago, it got stuck halfway when installing it, i think the keeper in the differential had gotten caught, i had to bang it hard to...

    Loose wheels, side to side play, but tie rod ends solid as a rock?

    You were right HitchHikingMike, my passenger wheel bearing was bad, the new moog I installed 2 years/33k miles ago (my son was working on that side, took me a while to get over there and QA his work, lol). Their Moog brand is now questionable, the tie rod ends are still nice and tight, but the...

    Loose wheels, side to side play, but tie rod ends solid as a rock?

    Also found the passenger wheel bearing went bad, loud grinding noise and noticable play and click when jiggled. Another moog component i replaced 2 yrs ago and the last item i checked of course. I wont be buying any moog components ever again, it all expensve napa parts from here on out.

    Loose wheels, side to side play, but tie rod ends solid as a rock?

    Loose wheels, side to side play, but tie rod ends solid as a rock?

    Here's a video of the tire side to side play. I mistook this for the tie rod ends being bad, but they are solid as a rock, just like new. I replaced them last year. They are in perfect working order.

    Loose wheels, side to side play, but tie rod ends solid as a rock?

    2005 ford explorer steering issue, just replaced everything 2 yrs ago (33 k miles) with all moog stuff (tie rods, upper & lower control arms, & strut assemblies), now tires are getting worn on the inside, which usually indicates bad tie rods or ball joints, alignment is so far off that I can't...

    ABS Module Issue

    Then it must have been the cable routing under the exhaust manifold. When i swapped cables i used a slightly different path.

    ABS Module Issue

    I fixed it finally. As a last ditch effort before taking it to the stealership, I decided to swap the front left and right sensors to see if the problem migrated to the right side. When I removed the right front sensor (it came with my Amazon purchased Moog bearing) it was covered with gook...

    ABS Module Issue

    Hi All, 2005 ford explorer xlt v8, 140k miles. I'm having a problem where when I turn left slowly the car makes an awful grinding sound. I'm pretty sure its an ABS problem. This all started last year when I replaced my wheel bearing assemblies that came with new abs sensor cables. It...
