drive shaft

I am replacing the automatic transmission seal (Where the driveshaft meets the transfer case). What I can’t figure out- nor my local auto shop is this small, additional seal that sits behind the bolt. (See photo) Any help on figuring out a part number would be excellent!

2007 Explorer Sport Trac XLT 4x4: Rear passenger knuckle broke Monday where the caliper mounts. Found a full replacement in a junkyard. Swapped everything out with ease. Put the wheel back on, dropped the truck from stands, and it started rolling while in park. When the knuckle broke, it did...

Hi all, I just did some recent inspection into a rattle that is making a lot of noise in the front end. I have a 2003 Ford Explorer XLT AWD. I jacked it up and looked under the front end area and found a few concerns. 1. The shop replaced the sway bar end links a month or two ago but never...

Hey guys, So on the rear of the front drive shaft, I have a double cardan U-Joint. The drive shaft moves up and down easily at the rear on the inside U-Joint. It is squeaking going down the road and clanking. I believe I just need to replace that inside U-Joint. Is that easy, or do i need to...

I really could use some help. Our trusty '00 Mounty has 140X and recently has begun a terrific vibration at 55mph plus. As I slow down to a stop it then morphs into metal clanking. Strange thing is this happened a couple years ago. I remember being all freaked out that it might be the...

Guys and Gals, I have been living with a vibration for some time. It was getting worst. Would feel the vibration on the floor (not on the steering wheel) starting around 50KM (30mph) and would become loud. Would still vibrate if placed in neutral regardless of RPM. Assumed it was coming from...
