Hello all new here. Im from california my name is peggy. And yes. I am a mechanic and I do all my repairs myself. I am in the bay area. Near San Francisco. Ok so i go to take the wheel off of this 2003 ford explorer xlt. To my surprise there is nothing in the middle of the wheel hole and i...

I have a 1998 Ford explorer xlt I recently aquired. I replaced the hub on the from and back to remove a roar from the worn bearings. I bought after market hubs that seemed fine exempt that my left ABS is engaging. I took it back to the machanic and the senor wire was replaced, but the problem...

Hello everybody, Firstly please accept my apologies, as I may use completely the wrong terminology but it doesn't mean that I am no less an Explorer enthusiast! My 2000 North Face almost lost it rear passenger wheel on the way back from London last week, after the wheel was changed to get it...

Hi I am a new user to this forum and I have a noise coming off of the front end of my 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Sounds like it is coming from the drive shaft coming off of the transfer case. It is a grinding noise from one side (the front right/passenger) does anyone have any ideas or a...

Hello everybody, After hearing some disquieting noises coming from the front wheel, I resolved myself to take my 2005 Sport Trac XLT to the nearest Ford service center. Their verdict was dreadful: front wheel bearings severely worn, brake discs warped from overheating by the shot bearings...

A few days ago I started hearing some crunching noise coming from the front wheel of my Sport Trac. I took it to the nearest Ford service center, and the inspection unveils a severely worn front wheel bearing, plus worn brake discs and brake pads. The manager said that they won't be able to...

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...

Hey guys, my 03 Explorer is up to 110325 miles and now makes noise (binding, popping, etc.) when turning (while only in 4x4 high or low - on wet pavement). I know there's more to consider (e.g. transfer case, diff) but I'm mainly targeting the front drive at this point. I've owned this vehicle...

ok, I replaced the rotors and brakes all the way around 2 months ago. Everything has been fine. Then the snow came and I engaged my 4X4 for the first time. After I disengaged, I got a horrible noise from the front passenger wheel. Got it in my garage and the hub assembly was shot. Replaced that...

I replaced my drivers front 1/2 shaft and my passenger front HUB assembly the other day and today it looked like my passenger front tire was slightly ****ed (all my front suspension is new) do I need to get another alignment done? I had to hammer in(pretty good) my upper balljoint because it was...

Hello everyone! I need some help on this one! I think it is a bad wheel bearing but I have no clue! When I am driving down the road, going straight, I can hear a rumbling sound, goes in and out, and sometimes it is constant. There is a particular road I travel, it has a pretty sharp curve...

Just bought me a 2006 ranger 2wd. replaced the front bearings and seals both sides. now i am getting a slight vibration in the rear somewhere that increases when i turn left from driving straight and decreases when i turn right from driving straight. Anyone help?

Hi Guys – new to the forum, but long time ST owner. I’ve concluded that the front wheel bearing on the pass side is bad, and I see it is an assembly – no way to change out just the bearing. Who has experience with the replacements from the Chain auto parts stores? Advance has two...

Then we pinpointed it to the driverside rear looked close and there are 4 bolts from axle to the hub 1 is gone completely and the other...

I have a 1994 Ford Explorer XLT. I have been having a problem with the 4x4. I used to hear the 4 high engage when it was working, but not when I hit the button for 4 high I don't hear that clank. I was under there about to tap the motor to try that fix but when the button was hit I could hear...

New wheel bearings, multiple adjustments, nothing changes! It all started when I replaced my tie-rod ends... Recent (March 2010) front suspension rebuild on my 1994 Limited 4X4 but I never got around to the tie-rod ends. Finally changed them last month - simple task - everything working...

I have a 2003 Explorer XLT 4x4. Need to swap the hub bearings for new ones. I'm reading conflicting posts on the axle nut size. I'm told that it should be a 1-1/4 size socket. The Ford dealer told me 32mm. However, when I fit the 32mm socket on the bolt it was too big. I went back and this...
