    Rotated Tires- Pulls Hard when braking

    I could be wrong but I don't think that's it. Tires are fine... I would think I (and the shop) would notice a seperated tire. Besides, the timing is too odd for the tire to seperate JUST after I had rotated and balanced. Also, I torqued myself tonight (forgot to mention) all were tight...

    Rotated Tires- Pulls Hard when braking

    Alright guys- any ideas out there? '02 4.0 Sport 4X4. Got my tires rotated and balanced- but not aligned since they didn't have the "alignment guy" in that day... Now when braking (especially on highway at high speeds) she pulls to the left pretty significantly. Had it aligned last year. No...

    No A/C always hot air

    Ummmm... You need to check the psi of the compressor #1... Most cans have a psi gauge on them... I'm not the expert... But I believe the psi should ve around 150 max??? Can someone confirm??? If you put in 5 cans you have to have a leak... You physically cannot pressurize the compressor more...

    02 SPort 4.0L SOHC GROWL

    Swsashi- Good idea- but no cigar. Took off IAC to clean & it was spotless. I had it in the shop last year to replace ball joints and told them to check out the growl... they must have cleaned the IAC because it was spotless. Also checked the MAF and it was spotless as well Keep the...

    02 SPort 4.0L SOHC GROWL

    Mr Wizard I think you've nailed it...my gauge doesnt show less than 1000 rpm so i can' say for sure...but yes, my thought is that a vehicle will idle at a lower rpm in drive than neutral (due to resistance) which could cause one to think it might have something to do with shifting Also, I...

    02 SPort 4.0L SOHC GROWL

    I have a growl. I have no idea what it is, it's always been there, though getting worse lately. I've seen other "growl" threads talk about things like the brakes or wheels, but that would be more of a "scraping" noise, this is a definite growl. Like my explorer is an angry dog. Here's what...

    Horrible front end squeak (passenger side)

    SHocks Changed shocks and front end squeak disappeared. (shocks were REALLY bad). Best I can figure is the shocks were doing little to control the coils, and the squeaking that I thought was Rotational or spinning was probably due to up & down movement. Anyway, this fixed the problem, I hope...

    Horrible front end squeak (passenger side)

    My squeak sounds the exact same (02' Sport)- under the front, extremely loud, etc... I JUST got back from a mountainous road trip. before I left ( two days before) I had the upper and lower passenger ball joints replaced and had the drivers inspected . I noticed that the squeaking would...

    02' Explorer Sport V6 4.0

    This forum has been so immensely helpful to me and has probably saved me over $2,000 (at least) in the last few years. I'd like to detail all the issues I've had w/ my explorer sport in the hopes that it will help someone else out. Some of this may be a little simplistic, but I hope it will help...

    2002 Sport bumper paint & rust

    Hey guys, The rear bumper is starting to get a few rust spots here and there on my Sport. I decided to just sand it all down and repaint the bumper...should be an easy task, except none of the books or resources I know of (yes I've check the door too) have the color code for the flat gray trim/...

    2001 Sport. I can't start my truck with the new ignition key & cylinder.

    Wow it sounds like the dealer is really hosing you...maybe I missed something, but the answer is the key. i have a few non-chip keys for the door locks just as a backup and they won't start the vehicle, they'll turn, but nothing happens other than the electrical coming on. 2002 explorer sport

I have a few issues with the sport and would like some opinions: #1 Fuel Gauge works on and off half the time. Half the time its on, and the other...
