I just came back from car shop to get my car checked out.. As they found the problem that caused the annoying clanking.. They said that it's due to ball joint and stabilizer link..

After reading other threads, I have learned that V6 SOHC tends to be problematic.. Which is the engine size my Explorer has.. So perhaps this would help and narrows down to the problem?

Yes, I do have a good business relationship with a mechanic at a car shop in MD, where I'm now back at home for the summer.. I was stuck at NY for college during the school year.. Thanks for the tips, I definitely will tell that to my mechanic..

Hey guys, I got my '97 Explorer xlt from my aunt on my graduation day.. I love it, but I am not exactly in love with my V6 4.0 engine, it's not powerful and slow.. I even tried to race with Grand Cherokee with V8 (my best friend's) and he whupped my ass.. :rolleyes: So I'm wondering...
