axle

So this is basically a part two to my wanting to replace rear end post of my truck. The main issue is my rear pass wheel now wobbles after I spun out due to a blowout and hitting a curb. A lot of people said to inspect the axle shaft itself as opposed to replacing rear end. The issue is the diff...

Alright so awhile ago my tire popped and I completely lost control of the truck. It spun into a curb and I went from 30 to 0. Took awhile to replace what was broken on this rust bucket especially since I’m learning about cars as something breaks. My issue is now my passenger rear wheel wobbles...

Would a Rear leaking Axle Seal cause the truck to have traction issues when going up my gravel driveway? I haven't check the diff fluid color or level yet.

I’m looking to buy a remanufactured 4.10 rear axle and came across a company called National Differential. They seem to have good reviews based on google. They’re asking $1500 for a reman 4.10 LSD + $250 shipping. But at that price I think it’d be better to buy from a more established company...

My rear axle on my 91 sport looks rather clean for maybe being a almost 30 axle even compared to a 99 back axle I'm wondering how to check the back axle code without doing the turning of it cause I've tried to do that and my back axle wouldn't turn

I'm replacing rear suspension parts on my on 94 Explorer. The leaf springs at the top of the list on Auto and Truck Springs (here) indicate that they are for 1st gen Explorers but also indicate that they are for over the axle. However, my springs sit under the axle. The arch measurement on these...

Hello, I have a 97 ford explorer sport with a 8.8 LS with 410 gears. I was told there was an issue with the rear diff when I bought it. I have taken look at the ring, pinion and spyder gears but everything looks fine. The noise is a loud whining when ever power is to the drive train. When I...

Hey guys need some help really quick! Currently laying under my explorer as I'm trying to fit my new passenger CV axle all the way onto the spline that goes into the diff but it won't seem to go all the way in. Noticed the driver side doesn't go all the way in either and there's a small gap at...

Been searching for a week now. Ebay, AutoZone, Advanced Auto Parts, O'Reilly's, Amazon, RockAuto,and just google in general. WHY is it so hard to find replacement CV axles? I'm looking for front ones specifically. Someone please correct me if I'm not on the right track. This started because of...

hi there, first post from me, Sympthoms are driving around 1500 rpm - 20 to 40 km/h I get some winning noise/vibration back through steering, engaging 4x4 high definitely makes it worse, turning doesn't seem to affect it really I can can get it while on a straight line, still there when 4x4...

Hey guys - I'd much appreciate some help on an odd situation. I'm in the middle of a project to replace my 96's axle gears with some 4.10 axles. I've already replaced the rear, and was going to use a front differential I bought from a '98 (difference being that in '98, they didn't have the...

I slid on snow and hit a curb going roughly 8 mph and snappedmy lower control arm in 2 pieces and pulled the axle out of the insert. The auto body shop got my insurance to replace all the suspension parts on the front drivers side wheel. However after multiple test drives there is a...

My front tire on the drivers side is uneven with the rest of the tires. it tilts in a bit more and causes a slight drift to the right and after looking closer the axle is very rusted. Am I able to clean off the rust and realign the axle? And if so what tools will I need besides lifts and...

Replaced my rear passenger side hub assembly. Threads on the axle are warn. I want to use a tap and die set to recut the threads on the axle. Can't find it anywhere online. Guy at napa told me I needed a 20mm x1.5 die. I got it and it was to small. Anyone know what size I need to recut these...

Hello again its been a while (good thing I suppose) but you guys were helpful before so I have another question for you. I recently did a tire rotation to see if my front end wobble/steering wheel shake at 65+ mph was due to worn tires (did ball joints a few years ago and never got an aliment...

:us:I'm New To The Forum, I've Used This Site For Certain Questions And What Not, But I'm Wondering What Would Be Best Or Rather Where I Could Find A Solid Front Axle For My Explorer, Its 4WD And Also A Good Site For Suspension Lifts. I Work With Someone Who Knows Alot Of My Questions But I...

Hey everyone, I'm thinking about switching the 3.55 gears in my 4.0 to the 3.73 LS. I've always lost traction when accelerating in the rain, even if I'm light on the gas. I've been through different tires and I still have this problem. I understand that the limited slip will give me better...

I find myself dealing with an axle that is out of true at the flange. Due to this I began the effort of getting a new axle or whole rear end depending on what the yards have at what price. So like most I start with the door sticker to identify what axle I need. The door is tagged D4 (3.73...

I have a new-to-me 91 Ranger 4wd, 120k miles, very nice condition. I've just recently noticed a few occasions where when turning slowly, forward and backward, the rear wheel (maybe just on the right side?) is skidding as though it were in 4wd, but it shouldn't be. The panel lights indicate...

Hi there, Almost lost a tyre on the A12 (tyre was changed by OH for MOT, don't go there). We thought I just needed a new rear hub assembly as have 11 spare tyres (inherited the car after my brother died) but can't seem to find one anywhere thought we had one from a breakers but now they say...

Ive got a 99 explorer XLS and i'm pretty sure I bent my axle and ####ed up my ball joints and bearings. Anyone out there that can help a dude out and direct me to some directions with photos and or videos on how to fix these it would be much appreciated.

My 2006 Ford Explorer has had lights on since the end of July. I brought it in to be fixed but was told it was a faulty sensor. The computer would not turn the lights off. 3 weeks ago it was brought to the dealer and was told it was the wheel baring. Lights still on! It was brought back...

I can't seem to find any help on my problem. Today I decided to test the 4wd drive out cause , winter is around the corner. While sitting still I push the 4hi and all the lights illuminated and herd clicking noise. As well as a clunking noise in the front end not sure where it was coming from...

While tooling down the road tryin to loosen my load, there werent many women on my mind ( just work) when all hell broke loose, the worlds loudest explosion and then a perpetual noise like a bag of marbles being murdered came from under her. I knew, @ 247k on the 01 explorer sport,. her days...

I'm having issues with my 2002 Explorer 4WD 4.0L -- it started with a slight "humming" noise from the front end...can start to hear it at about 20 mph and gets really loud at 30-40 mph -- then seems to go away after about 50 mph. Here's what I have checked/replaced: 1. First, really thought...
