    Knocking/klunking sound while turning at low speed

    2016 Explorer Limited 2WD, ~38,000 miles all city and highway I have a "thunking" noise that could probably also be described as a popping noise while turning at very low speed. Essentially when turning out of my driveway. It doesn't happen every time - maybe 1 out of 4 or 5 times. I don't...

    Creak/pop noise from front end

    I've been going crazy trying to figure out what is causing this insane popping/Creaking noise front my front drivers side. I've recently noticed it only happens when I'm turning my steering wheel right, even if it's just slightly. Even yesterday I just parked and rocked the car side to side and...

    Pop when braking

    I just picked up a 91 Explorer EB 4x4 (for CHEAP) it has some minor issues (window motor, door lock, etc.) One issue I want to fix right away is what I think is a suspension/steering issue. About a half second after braking hard there is a loud pop in the front end. I also heard a small pop...

    What transfer case chain do I need

    I just swapped the 4405 transfer case in my 97 4.0 with one out of a 98. How can I find out what chain is in the 98. I swapped the back half of my 97 onto the 98 to get VSS output. Everything works fine except that there is a lot of slack in the chain and I am getting a loud clunk or pop when I...

    Popping sound when accelerating gently.

    I hear this popping sound [a single pop] when I accelerate gently sometimes. Sometimes I hear it when reversing too. I don't know much about cars and don't want to take it to the dealership unless it's a serious problem [replicating stuff to dealer techs is a pain]. I have a 2011 Ford...
