    2011 Front Suspension Creaks

    I hope that helps someone! The Monroe struts I installed apparently had a bad bearing causing the noise. They were replaced under warranty and the sound went away. There were so many other mechanical problems I gave up on it at 81,000 miles. I fixed it by trading it in on a 2017 Expedition...

    2011 Front Suspension Creaks

    New here

    Just dropped in to say Hello and post a question. I’ve owned my 2013 Explorer since it was new. Now that it has 75,000 miles on it and I’m a DIY guy, I hope to have a great relationship here. Thanks for the site!
