cv joint

I have a 99 EB Explorer with a growling noise coming from the front end, I took the pass tire off to check the wheel bearing and the wheel bearing seems to be fine didn't have any wiggle when I jacked it up, from the posts I've seen possibly related to the cv, or transfer case. The best way I...

Okay, so I posted a thread before this asking about a creaking sound coming from front left wheel well, now the creaking sound has stopped, but a popping noise has started. This popping only occurs when I accelerate too quickly (over 5 mph) from a complete stop. I am attaching a YouTube video of...

Hi all, today I replaced the passenger side strut bearing and while removing the strut, I apparently let the control arm drop too low and thus separated the part of the axel that ties to the transhaft. The boot is still in tact, but the cv axel will not reseat again (I'm referring to the end...

Hey guys I yanked & rebuilt my first v6 4.0l solely using this amazing forum n my Haynes book in sept.. Now I'm back because I don't know squat outside the engine and I'm unsure if my troubleshooting skills are sending me Barking up the wrong tree. Soo... I was turning right into a drive...

My first post here but I have been reading this forum for years and am very happy and grateful to see the Ford Explorer community is in fact so large and resourceful. I am in a bad situation and could use some advice from anyone who might have experienced what I am. My front hubs/CV joints...

Hello everybody, this is my first post in explorerforum. I bought my 2002 Ford Explorer XLT (157k) 1 year ago. There is a noise coming from the back when I drive at any speed. The faster I go, the louder it gets. The noise feels like if a tire was flat and it was rubbing against the road...

I have a 97 explorer AWD with the 5.0. It shakes when I'm driving at any speed when I make turns and am in reverse it clicks as if I were making a sharp turn in 4wd low I checked the hub by jacking it up and seeing if the tire would shake I also checked the tie rods and ball joints does anyone...

I have recently replaced both wheel bearings in my 2004 Mountaineer. I have all replaced the upper control arms with the ball joints included in the assebmly. Recently we have been hearing a popping noise only when driving slow and truning. The noise seems to be coming from the drivers side...

Hello all! I've always gotten good help here so here we go :D My vehicle shakes bad when going around right curves and turns. Thought it might be hub bearings, pulled wheel off today and they are fine! I looked around and found this gasket i think its called, completely torn and off of where its...

I've searched stock and modified and the best tips or write up I can find was this.http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=272184&highlight=drive+axle Has anyone completed this repair? I'm looking to tackle this project soon. I saw many rear cv threads but not many informative...

My 2004 Explorer drove fine to work. When leaving for lunch it felt like a brake pad was going bad. 20 mi. later is was making a grinding/tinking sort of noise and ground like a brake pad was gone or anti lock was having issues but no ABS lights and only when using the brakes.It is fine if you...

A while back I started getting an intermittent popping/banging/thumping sound from around the front center to right of center of my Explorer. Its a '96 Eddie Bower 4.0L 4WD. Funny thing is, it sometimes happens when going down hill with my foot off the gas. It also appears at times when...

Hi Everyone, Its been awhile since I've been on the site. First of all, I'm not sure if it is the CV joint that I am going to be working on. I have this loud sound that I initially sounded like the tread of my tires on the road. I realized that this wasn't the case because it still sounded...
