OK, I've read all about wiring in the factory sub and everything, but I think I'm reading into everything too much, ha. This is what I have: 97 XLT JBL Sound with sub in back and 6 disc changer in console What I want to do: I want to put in a Pioneer head unit. Get rid of 6 disc...

Not really sure if I found the right thing. Would Moog #K80065 be what I'm looking for?

Thanks! I just wanted to make sure before I dive into this, ha.

My 97 Explorer has a bad engine knock. My brother has a friend that has a 4.0 SOHC (my 97 is a 4.0 SOHC) from a 99. Are they the same?

Is there a good place to get a camber kit for it?

I have replaced the upper control arms, shocks and wheel bearings on my 97 XLT 2wd. Also had it aligned. I did all of this after the inside of my tires were getting worn pretty bad. After doing all of that, I also put new tires on it. Now my new tires are wearing pretty bad on the inside...

I know this seems to be a popular topic, but I just wanted to try to get some basics for my Dad. He has a 2006 Explorer XLT, 4.0 SOHC, just hit 50,000 miles. He's been having some hard shifting problems so he took it to Ford to have them run diagnostics and he said they're saying it's the...

I'm looking for a 2004-08 Explorer, Mountaineer or Expedition. Not sure of the price range I have to work with yet, so if you have anything let me know. Would prefer a V8 and don't really need 4wd, but if it's a V6 w/ 4wd I won't not consider it, ha. Thanks!

I'm looking to buy a 2003-2008 Explorer or Mountaineer. Are there any years to stay away from or things to look for when I'm looking at them? I would like a V8 but will settle for a V6. Also, I've noticed a lot come with an 1 1/4" receiver hitch. Is there any easy way to put a 2" on one...

Wow....I've been reading about this swap all day! I just want to make sure I have everything clear. I should get a 2005-06 Mustang Engine. Does the auto trans in my Explorer (97 4.0 SOHC) bolt up to the Mustang engine? Should I get an engine from an auto Mustang? Basically just use the...

Yea, that's what I was wondering about. I really don't want to get into swapping harnesses and stuff.

I have a 97 Explorer XLT with the 4.0 SOHC engine. It has a little over 200,000 miles on it. I started noticing a knocking sound that has gotten worse. If revved over 3k RPM it sounds like it's going to fly apart. I took it to a friend of mine who is a great mechanic and his diagnosis is a...

I'm worried about this too. I just put new tires on and got an alignment, but I'm still scared its going to wear the insides of the new tires and I won't be very happy.

Let us know. Mine is driving me crazy, ha

Sorry I haven't gotten the specs up yet. They're still with the Explorer and I'm not driving it, ha. I have figured out that the noise is coming from the steering shaft and possibly the rack. Any good ideas to check the rack further?

I have the same problem with my 97. I've narrowed it down to the steering shaft and rack. Grab the steering shaft and try to wiggle it.

I have the same problem with my 97 4.0 SOHC. Its driving me crazy. I have no idea where its going. I will fill the radiator and overflow to where its supposed to be and then drive 3 hours to my parents and when I get there the overflow will be empty and the radiator level will be down about...

I'll have to do that when I get off of work!

Ok, my drivers side front tire is wearing pretty bad on the inside. I've replaced the upper control arms/ball joints and put new front shocks on it. I just put new tires on it and went to have it aligned and the machine says the alignment is fine. I've also had a kind of clunking noise on the...

Hopefully they'll work well, cuz I just ordered them, ha

I was looking at these: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Yokohama&tireModel=Geolandar+H%2FT-S+G051&partnum=375SR5GEOHTSOWL&i1_Qty=4&autoMake=Ford&autoModel=Explorer&autoYear=1997&autoModClar=&vehicleSearch=true I have to go with something cheap. The only thing I'm wondering...

The pads are less than a year old and they look fine. I did the passenger side last night. What a difference! I will do the drivers side sometime today. I just hope I used enough grease and did everything right. Bearings always scare me, ha.

Yea, thats what I was thinking. When I was driving it back home I was steering back and forth and its noisier with a load on the passenger side. I guess I'll pull it apart when I get back home and replace stuff. Anything special I need to do when replacing them?

OK, just checked it. Not really any play in either, but the passenger side is really noisy when spinning. Should I pull all of it off and check the bearings?

So what would make the speedometer work but nit the odometer?
