    Grinding sound when braking?

    Everyone here has been so helpful in the past, so thought I'd post about my newest Explorer issue... Whenever I brake, there's a grinding, rubbing sound that has recently gotten worse. It started a couple of days ago and got louder yesterday. When I step on the brake and slow down faster...

    When stopped, RPM drops to 500, car starts shaking... ideas?

    Glacier... thanks. for the heads-up. I went to Kragen and got their assorted mix of rubber vacuum caps for around $4 and it worked great. FYI, I found the problem after listening for the hissing sound. Put my finger on the leak and it seemed to close the air system. It's kind of in...

    When stopped, RPM drops to 500, car starts shaking... ideas?

    Hrmitrl, I searched around and the cap did fall off on the back of the intake. Sounds like a hiss and when I put my finger on it the leak sounded like it stopped. Is this a part that I can pick up at an auto parts store relatively easily? Do you know what I would specifically ask for...

    Noise coming from steering column when turning??

    I'm not really sure if it's outside since it only happens when I'm driving on the freeway. I think though that it's inside because it sound's like it's coming from very near the steering column...

    Noise coming from steering column when turning??

    It's sounds kind of like a bike chain that would be clicking or catching a bit. Sorry for the lame explanation... the best I could think of.

    Noise coming from steering column when turning??

    I'm not sure if it's the power steering... I used to have a Granada that made some weird power steering noises... this sounds more like a chain or something. Any other ideas?

    Noise coming from steering column when turning??

    Hey, I had a question... I have a 91 Explorer (Eddie Bauer). Sometimes when I'm on the freeway (at least 55 mph+), I get this noise coming from what seems the steering column. It almost sounds like a bike chain or something. It typically comes when I'm going around a turn. I'm going on...
