    So yeah... without rust this would have been a much easier undertaking... 1 bolt broke, the other was sawzalled.

    HELP! How do I remove the front bumper on my 01 sport?

    So to resurrect a topic from the dead, this is all that is needed to remove the front bumper cover? The ones under the hood, and in the fender well?

    Largest tires that will fit on a 97 explorer sport 4x4

    Alright, bump for an old topic, since we like to use search :) Is this photo of a stock suspension explorer with 265/75/R16's? I have an 02 explorer sport with 16" wheels, and I'm going to look at a set of BFG MT 265/75R16's and I need to know if they fit. In the last 2 pages, many people...

    Bad noise/abs problem 2002 Explorer Sport

    Alright, I'm fixing it myself, and the dealer is going to pay me! Score for that. I got a Timken hub assembly. Are they good? It's just what my local parts store had in stock. -Gary

    Looks like I may be able to get the car dealer to pay for the repair at Midas. I'll take that option if it is available.

    Bad noise/abs problem 2002 Explorer Sport

    Thanks, I was confused because you said wheel bearing, and on Rockauto they call it the Hub assembly. I guess the hub assembly contains the wheel bearing? We've had my buddy's 01x that far apart before, so it shouldn't be too bad. Thanks for the info.

    2002 Explorer Sport, Do I keep it

    The second one isn't 4x4, and the 4th one is the one I bought. The one in NC is the only other one I considered because I was looking for lower mileage. I jacked my truck up tonight, and it seems to be a wheel or hub bearing. I drove 100 miles to get this one in a snow storm, I guess flying...

    Bad noise/abs problem 2002 Explorer Sport

    I can wiggle the wheel... I'm guessing it's the bearing. Is this a "hub bearing" or a "wheel bearing." What is the difference, between the two if someone could explain it to me? Thanks, Gary

    2002 Explorer Sport, Do I keep it

    Alright, I wanted a 2001-2003 Explorer Sport 5-spd manual with 4x4. I found the only stick explorer within 200 miles of my house. I bought it, because it test drove fine. They took my old explorer(94 5-spd that wouldn't pass inspection) gave me $500 for it, and I got this one for $6500 after...

    How to Separate Ball Joints

    Yep, Harbor freight has the kit you need for $34. Or you can make your own. We did the front ones on my buddy's 01. They come out easy with the right tool. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=38335

    Happens in both 4wd and 2wd. I will be jacking it up in about an hour to see if I can determine anything. No tools at the moment though.

    Using cardboard in front of radiator???

    Yes this is true, because the computer could advance the timing more with the higher octane fuel, thus making more power. It cannot advance the timing on the lower octane fuel because the motor will start to ping(pre-detonate) because lower octane fuels will ignite faster under compression. I...
