noise

I am working on a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer, V6-FlexFuel AWD. This wekeend, I replaced the rear brake pads and rotors. Also, the parking brakes on both sides were completely shot. I also replaced the parking brake pads. This is the first time I've done this on this style of parking brake...

We have had our 2016 Explorer sport for about a month now. We live in Michigan which means our freeways can be bumpy. We have noticed a very loud "gong" noise when hitting bumps that extend completely across the lane of the highway. The noise is similar to hitting a hollow metal pipe. It is...

Have 2002 Eddie Bauer 4x4 with the V6. 150Kmiles. 4x4 function hasn't worked in a while (I believe the transfer control module is out). Have had same tires (combo off-road/road SUV) for some years now; tread doesn't seem to wear much but the tires are 'stiff'; ride is very firm. Lately there...

When I start up my truck (happens with both remote start and key start) there is a very loud screeching coming from the belt I'm assuming. It only happens for a quick second and only on startup no matter if the engines hot or cold. I just replaced the belt a few months ago and it stopped for...

I cannot seem to find reference to this issue anywhere else. For reference - I have an 08 XLT with Manual HVAC controls (no rear HVAC) Cold air blows out of a round hole(in the HVAC Case) in the drivers side floor boards area. This happens when the heat is on. First off - I replaced the...

Hey everyone, figured I'd post here before tearing my front end apart trying to figure out where this noise is coming from. It's also raining so I have time to do some research :) A few thousand miles ago I had my front hubs replaced as they were making a loud droning noise at freeway speeds...

Hi all, I've been hearing a strange metal popping sound coming from the rear suspension ever since I took my car to the garage to have a bolt drilled out (front sway bar bushing bracket). It sounded like a spring to me but honestly it could be anything. Here's a picture of the strut in...

Hey guys, first time poster here... Recently came into ownership of an '06 Explorer. Been having rear noise issues for awhile now, but it's steadily getting worse. I thought it may have been possible tire noise at first, as the treads that came with it were badly worn on the inside edges...

Hello All, I'm hoping the community can help me track down the cause of a surprisingly loud whistle-like noise that occurs only when moving. Here is a list of the conditions: Easily heard within the cabin Doesn't really fluctuate, definitely doesn't change with RPM Occurs even with engine off...

Good day, quick backstory. Purchased about a year ago 2003 4.6 Mercury Mountaineer. Engine was replaced back in 2012 with a 4.6 from Mustang. Truck runs smooth, no lights or anything but it has a noise that sounds like coming from engine. Already replaced tranny, TC and flexplate thinking that...

Hi, im from ma, I have an 04 mountaineer that I love to death. It's rust free, pretty and rides great. Only problem is, it has a knock sound under around 1300rpm. No metal in the oil, it does not go away if you disconnect any of the plugs, but above 1300 rpm it's gone, only at idle...

The rear differential was just rebuilt/replaced in my 2003 4wd Ford Explorer. It is making noise again and I wonder about the fluid that was put in it. Any recommendations - do I need to do a complete fluid change? TIA

Hi all, This wind noise has been getting louder and louder over the past few months. It appears to be on the driver's side and it's only noticeable when driving next to a barrier median in the passing lane. It sounds like puffs of air/wind. It's not a constant noise but rather a noise that...

Hi, guys. So My 1998 AWD started making another weird noise. This time it's a SUPER LOUD clicking / popping noise that comes out from what sounds like the transfer case (maybe?). The strangest thing about this noise is that it is completely random. Most of the time it will click for a few...

After reading almost every post about fan noises in this forum, I haven't found an answer that fits my problem. I've got a 2004 Explorer XLT V8 (130,000 km) which has a blowing noise from the hood. I'm pretty sure the source is the fan due to its distinctive blowing sound. The blowing...

Hello I have Explorer 2005 , 170K KM, recently I am getting noise comes from the dashboard when I start the car. The noise comes only when the the car stop for 4 to 5 hours (in the morning and when I back home from work). The noise will disappear after 2 to 3 minutes and also when I drive the...

humming /whining sound from front end. Not all the time , but most times . When noise is there , turning the wheel slightly changes the frequency of the noise. Appears to come from front left. Noise loud enough that i cannot hear my normal engine or exhaust sound. What could this be. Thanks in...

Hello, I have a 2003 Mountaineer with a 4.6, AWD, 3rd row seating, towing package, and a remanufactured transmission. Aprox 164k miles. Original drivetrain components except the transmission. Has recieved diff and transfer case flushes ect same owner since 2004 (my Aunt) I have a very...

Hello Everyone, I have a brand new 2015 Limited that I took delivery on last week. It has under 200 miles on it, and it started making a weird howling noise. I have attached a video of the sound which seems to occur at ~35MPH. Took it into the dealer and they have not been able to determine...

Hi there :us: ! Anyone know what could cause a LOUD On and Off groaning noise only on hot days coming from around the Air Filter on my 2000 XLS?

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...

Hey so there is this squeking noise comming from the belt area of the engine. It sounds like a bad serpentine belt but it happened rather fast, (over the course of 5 days), granted those 5 days where after a 300 mile trip home... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KleYbvfDSgM&feature=youtu.be...

I have recently had a piercing sound coming from my 02 explorer sport Trac It doesn't make the noise until it has heated up, I'd say 10 to twenty highway miles and it comes and goes. I assumed it was a wheel bearing but when I lifted each wheel there was no play in them. 3 months ago u had...

I have a 91 explorer with a 2 inch bidy lift on 36 inch superswampers with a lot of motor work and other off road things done to it. It is also my daily driver. I have started hearing a slight clanging or clicking.noise in the front end at first I thought.It may be the transmission. But...

New to the site! I have a 2006 Eddie Bauer explorer w/v6. I had some noise from the front wheels. My warranty covered the wheel bearings and hub so my guy replaced them. I still hear some sort of humming. I have BF Goodrich Radial Terrains that are less than a year old. My mechanic said...
