rear end noise

Hello, I’m dealing with an issue that has me thinking I’m nuts. I have a 2003 ford explorer sport trac 4x4 that has been through hell and back but I keep it running and driving. There has been a clunking/shifting noise in the rear end of the truck whenever I brake and turn. When I stop normally...

I have a 97 explorer sport that has a temperature gauge that never goes above the cold mark. Could it be the coolant temp sensor or sender? Of would it be the thermostat? Also the speedometer goes in and out while accelerating. Is that the speed sensor? Are the leaf springs out of a 1997 xlt...

I live in Florida so cold is a relative term, but most mornings if the temperature is below 50 I get a strange squeal noise from the rear end of my '97 Eddie Bauer. It goes away after a few minutes. I had the drive shaft rebuilt 9-16 and the diff rebuilt 9-15. I've had the brakes and bearings...

I own a 2003 Ford Explorer XLT 4x4 nbx package with 146k miles and have owned it since new. While this is the first time I have visited this forum, I have plenty of experience maintaining this vehicle and in fact this problem may have already been posted and solved by others. Anyhow, here's the...

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...

Hey all - we have a 2004 Ford Explorer with about 97,000 miles (~40,000 on rebuilt transmission). As we were approaching the 100k mark, we took it into the dealership to have it looked at. Man...did my stomach drop when they called about the repairs: $1,950 to rebuild/overhaul the rear end...

I have a 2002 ford explorer. I've had it for about 10 years now. In the last year I've moved from new Orleans to Delaware. I was driving about 70 miles a day for work and after dealing with the winter I had to replace the tires. My brakes also went bad and needed to be replaced. That was about 8...

It's been a long cold winter. With the overhaul completed over a week ago, I had to wait on some help with the reinstall. Got it sitting on the frame on Monday, finished and started it this afternoon. It started on the second crank and was smooth and quite in less then 10 seconds. I let...

My 94 Ford Ranger has a "clunk" in the rear end. thought it was Trans, and then the drive shaft but now see it is in the differential. Is there any adjustments inside or does one replace the whole rear end?

My '02 4x4 suddenly acquired a loud grinding/scraping noise from my right rear wheel. When I got the wheel off I found that metal was being shaved from the inside of the wheel and I can move the entire axle, rotor and hub up and down several inches (the rotor and hub seem to be secure to the...

I have done a few searches, but I think I need a little bit better of an explanation than I've found. Here are my symptoms: 1994 Explorer 4x4 (w/manual hubs) When I'm on the highway, I get a loud "whining/whurring" noise from the driveline. I can't tell if it's the rear diff or the...
