Tsuga, I appreciate you updating us with your progress. I've got 175k miles on my 2015 explorer Sport and we just started hearing the knocking noise on startup. It sounds exactly like the older video you posted. Are you planning on replacing the tensioner?

Just to follow up on this.... I believe my abnormal wear was due to faulty and cracked rear toes as cited in recall. The rear toe catastrophically failed nearly causing a major accident. I was after fixing the rear toes under recall, but I we no longer have this issue.

did you ever solve this issue? I just dropped mine off at the dealer because it's leaking in a similar way, except it was gushing out with the motor off

I'm actually quite surprised by everyone's experiences with the factory Hankook tires. I experienced the exact opposite, we made it to around 75k miles if I recall correctly, and we were not very good with rotations. Maybe we got lucky? We have experienced significant issues since then and...

What could cause my alignment to be this off in 6 days? The back story is that we've been struggling trying to figure out why our explorer has been experiencing abnormal tire wear to the tune of about 10 replaced tires in ~2.5 year, with a new set of 4 today. At this point I'm assuming some...

Did you figure it out yet? I just finished this job the other day. The knuckle is very easy to remove, the hub bearing required a shop press, and we had to cut off a section of the heat shield so we could remove it and make using the press easier. All 4 bolt holes were salvaged and everything...

So, the lower control arms were replaced? What exactly was wrong with them, that seems strange to me. Any advice on what to look for?

Does anyone have any tips on how to tighten a hose on ptu nipple hose? I assume a hose clamp was used what kind of tool was used to tighten?

What year model Explorer do you have? I'm not aware of a side fill bolt. I just did mine this weekend it was a pain in the ass

Oh no sorry, that is old. I am asking about a 2015 explorer sport. I need to update thanks!

F150? Did you mean explorer?

We just purchased a 5x8 enclosed trailer and decided it would be best to use tow/haul mode even though the trailer was basically empty. I am guess the total weight is less than 1000 lbs. We drove about 300 miles or so and have noticed that our gas mileage was must worse than we thought it...

Thanks for the info. The nastiest stuff I'd find myself in would be thick beach sand. I suppose clearance and the factory tires would be my biggest problem, I would also like to tow a trailer through sand too. In terms of driving through sand, is the deepest sand the truck can handle...

Is this still valid?

I'd love to see some videos or pics of the kind of sand this these '4x4' can handle. Can't wait to try mine out..

4x4 capabilities of Explorer Sport Does anyone have any videos of the Explorer Sport's off road 4x4 capabilities in sand, mud, etc? I would like to get an idea of what the explorer can handle. Thanks,
