- 96 Explorer Sport
Hi everybody. This is my first post here but I've been reading for a while. Ive got a question about my 96 explorer sport 4.0 4wd. When I drive around I can hear a noise coming from I think the rear output shaft of the transfer case. The noise changes as I speed up or slow down. This afternoon I took the driveshaft off at the rear of the transfer case and found that the output flange from the t-case had a little play in it, but only if i really push on it. The front one had nothing so I would assume that the play shouldnt be there. The U joints all feel like theyre in fairly good shape, although I'll replace them anyways. I also plan on replacing the output flange when I find time to go get one, but If the output flange doesnt fix the noise and it is the bearing within the transfercase, what's gonna happen if I dont fix it right away?
