What do I do to test it? I listened to it while the truck was running on the stands, even used a electronic stethoscope but only heard what sounded linke normal noise to me. Is there some kind of way to check it out? Short of dropping it from the truck? Thanks in advance, Mike

Well, I spent a lot of time under the car. Didn't find much, unfortunately. Checked the CV and U-joints in both drive shafts, took off the left CV shaft and actually took it in to autozone to compare to a new one since it seemed a little odd. The new ones were the same, or maybe a little worse...

I'll check it out - from doing some other reading, looks like I should check the CV on the front drive shaft too. read through about the BW 4404 and will check to see if I have any noises coming from there, at least I know it can be rebuilt. Mike

Hello, I have had quite a few weeks with my 2001 Explorer. Basically it started making the noise indicating the wheel bearings were bad, so I changed both, still had the noise. The car vibrates a little at speed, and very much when braking. I'm wondering what else to try. Here is what I have...

Not sure what IFS is, could you clarify? Going through it was not too bad, I started in the left-most lane on I90. I was driving along in 2wd when the back slid out to the right. I tried to turn into the skid, and ended up going sideways down the road, traveling at a 45 degree angle, till the...

I was surprised by this too, not broken windows. I've driven Ford for a long time, and though this is my first major accident, my brother did flip a Bronco II, and was basically not injured either. I know the explorer's are not the highest rated on crash ratings and such, but I do have to say...

Yeah, both airbags went off, when it was on its side, I could tell the front suspension was pretty messed up, the front was bent up at an angle from hitting the ground. In addition, the entire side is mangled, and the roof was dimpled.... I knew it was totalled as soon as I got out of it...

I was driving to PA to look at another explorer that I was going to buy, when this happened. Started in the left lane, and ended up in the ditch. Truck hit and flipped over, landing on its side. I got the pictures started after they had flipped it back over. Its totalled, which is too bad, as...
