2007 Explorer Sport Trac XLT 4x4: Rear passenger knuckle broke Monday where the caliper mounts. Found a full replacement in a junkyard. Swapped everything out with ease. Put the wheel back on, dropped the truck from stands, and it started rolling while in park. When the knuckle broke, it did...

I was wondering how you go about replacing the bearing that joins the front drive shaft to the transfer case? I have some up and down play there and not sure what's causing it.

Hi all, I just did some recent inspection into a rattle that is making a lot of noise in the front end. I have a 2003 Ford Explorer XLT AWD. I jacked it up and looked under the front end area and found a few concerns. 1. The shop replaced the sway bar end links a month or two ago but never...

Hey guys, So on the rear of the front drive shaft, I have a double cardan U-Joint. The drive shaft moves up and down easily at the rear on the inside U-Joint. It is squeaking going down the road and clanking. I believe I just need to replace that inside U-Joint. Is that easy, or do i need to...

I really could use some help. Our trusty '00 Mounty has 140X and recently has begun a terrific vibration at 55mph plus. As I slow down to a stop it then morphs into metal clanking. Strange thing is this happened a couple years ago. I remember being all freaked out that it might be the...

I just bought a 98 Mountaineer with 139,000mi. The vehicle is in great condition. The owner(previous owner) gave me pile of receipts mostly from a Ford dealership. I noticed one of the receipts was for a transmission and I was happy it was replaced about 5 years ago at 90k to the tune of 2k. I...

Guys and Gals, I have been living with a vibration for some time. It was getting worst. Would feel the vibration on the floor (not on the steering wheel) starting around 50KM (30mph) and would become loud. Would still vibrate if placed in neutral regardless of RPM. Assumed it was coming from...
