Rattling in front end
Me too either... I have the same symptoms, can't find the noise source. I am replacing the brake pads as a last ditch effort. The rattling seems to lessen, stop if I apply brakes when road is rough enough to cause such rattling. Turning up the radio works temporarily... Yvon- blue00

Regarding oil, would 10W30 work
No 5-W-30? I can't believe you can't find 5 w 30 in Richmond Hill. I would change to 5-W-30 in the winter if you go through with the switch to 10-W-30 though. Just my opinion. Good luck- blue00

I haven't done any lift but have read up on some but still concerned about that very thing of fighting with the hardware :mad: . If you've done the necessary prep work: spray the break free n wait, removing brake lines, fan shroud, and all other gotchas, try undoing all the body mount bolts on...- blue00

Horn repair stalled -'95 Explorer
Not sure if you did this check or not. You might wanna try a ground substitute as it seems that you say the arm mounting the horns is difficult to remove and not sure for the x, but other vehicles get their ground from the horn casing through the mount, to the chassis by virtue of the...- blue00

REdo this 2-3 times...- blue00
