- 1992 Explorer Sport
I recently bought a 92 explorer sport off a buddy for $200 but it had a few problems such as it needed rotors, a seal for the rear end and new brake lines from the splitter to the wheel cylinders. That is all done but there is a strange sound coming from the left front wheel. The best way I can describe it is it sounds like a roller coaster going up a hill and it goes with the speed of the vehicle. It does not go away while making turns or when in neutral and is present in forward and reverse. I talked to my boss and he suggested that maybe something is the hub may be sticking or maybe the transfer case needs fluid. This is my first 4wd vehicle and this sound is new to me so im looking for any insight as to what this may be. Also worth a mention it does not seem to be effecting the driveability of the vehicle but the sound is a nuisance so im just kind of keeping it parked until I get some more ideas.
