Hey all, First post here. I have a 99 Mercury Mountaineer with AWD. I have been hearing some speaking and rubbing on my front driver side tire/wheel. I have taken the wheel and tire off and check to see if there was anything rubbing the interior of the wheel to no luck. Does anyone have any...

Hello, I have a 04 Mounty 4.6L V8 with 96,000 mi. and it is making a horrible rattle and scraping noise for a couple seconds immediately after a cold start. Then it will make a winding noise that gets louder and faster as RPMs increase. The winding noise goes away after the engine warms up...

Hey guys I just signed up here. I'm a Blackhawk mechanic in the Army and I have a question about a rattling I have coming from my engine. First of all I am not much of a car mechanic, but through about 15 minutes of Googling I have narrowed down my problem. I got under the car and saw that a...

Hello again. Vehicle is 08 Explorer, 6 speed, 4wd. 68K. Started noticing a noise from front end which sounds like a bad bearing or knobby tires. Noise continues after: new front wheel bearings(replaced twice in 2K miles), new front half shafts, new tires, brakes, alignment. Car drives out very...

I have been driving my explorer for about 2 years now, but it has been in my family (My dad drove it) since 1998. Other than some small issues like replacing tires and a couple other things, I haven't had much trouble. Recently, I have been hearing a knock/thud noise from the front end when I...

I have an 02 Explorer XLT with around 85k miles. Just recently I started to notice what I thought was a bad front wheel bearing. Annoying hummimg noise while driving and it goes away when you turn the wheel right. I thought it was coming from the front, but after changing both front hubs...

I've been trying to figure out why my truck is vibrating badly and making a strange noise. My transmission was dropped last Friday to replace the rear main seal and as soon as I got it it would vibrate in gear at low rpms(below 800). The shop told me to wait till Friday because the transmission...

I have a 96 xlt 5.0 AWD and there is a whirring sound that comes and goes when pressing and letting off of the gas pedal, sounds like its on passenger side. I'm not sure what it is but doubt its the bearings (changed some before and doesnt have that kind of sound). Basically Im just looking for...

I just completed replacing my front rotors and brakes pads with the help of Glacier's awesome write up, and the problem I would hope go away remains. After coming to a stop, when I release the brakes I hear a slight "clunk" in the front end. :scratch: I'm sure it's related to the brakes, but I...

Hey everyone, my X has been making a weird noise now for about 10k miles, since I installed the stock IAC a year ago(it had the wrong one before, from the 5.0) Well I've researched quite a bit and the only things I've seen are bad lifters/pushrods. The noise is like marbles in a can, it's not...

The 1995 Explorer starts fine and sounds right for 15 seconds or so. Then I get dancing oil pressure that drops to zero and I hear some level of engine noise (either value train or rods, I don't know yet). I shut it down right away and repeat the process with the exact same results. That is...

SO I get in the car last night for the first time in about a week. Aways down the road, I turn the heater fan on low. I hear a very faint tick tick tick. I speed it up and it sounds like when you were a kid and you put baseball cards in your spokes to make your bike sound like a motorcycle...
