front end noise

hey there, so I've noticed a month ago that she's been leaking a small amount of radiator fluid, not enough to make a difference on the reservoir but enough where i can see it on the driveway and now smell it. Whenever I take her out instantly I start hearing a grinding noise in the front end...

hum sounded like wheel bearing/hubs so I replaced both sides. The noise continued. Switched tires front to back, noise continues. Any ideas what else it might be??? Don't want ot spend money on half shaft if its a tranny issue???

Hello! I recently replaced the lower and upper control arms, sway bar links, shock absorber. Now there is a noise coming from the front end. It could have always been there since it was very squeaky before due to worn bushings. The shock absorbers are from my 98 explorer (the car in question is...

Hello! I have a 2004 ford explorer with over 180,000 miles on it. Last week my front drivers side began making this horrible sound. It is a mix of grinding/crunching. It is present all the time and worse when making a left turn. A few times when turning it makes a very loud click/pop sound. When...

My 2003 AWD Mounty has a grinding/scraping sound from the drivers side front that is most pronounced on deceleration. Both front wheel bearings/hubs are almost new, as are the inner and outer tie rods and the ball joints all check out fine. Yesterday, as a test, I removed the front drive shaft...

Hey everyone, figured I'd post here before tearing my front end apart trying to figure out where this noise is coming from. It's also raining so I have time to do some research :) A few thousand miles ago I had my front hubs replaced as they were making a loud droning noise at freeway speeds...

I have a 2010 Explorer 4WD V8. At 58,000 I replaced the dealer replaced the front left hub due to noise and vibration. About 70,000 miles the symptoms returned. In the last 10,000 miles I have replaced again the front left hub and right hub for the first time. Also the right rear is showing...

My explorer has 260K+ miles on it, runs great but in the last couple months, I've been hearing a combination groan/whine from the front axle when driving. It winds up and down depending on speed, but gets really loud in the cabin the faster I go. When I drive straight or turn right, it's...

I have a 1997 Explorer that has developed a very bad vibration/rumble starting at around 35mph. The rumble is so loud at 40mph that you cannot hear the radio. I have removed the front driveshaft with no change. I have also rotated the tires with no change. The only thing that I have noticed...

So I went on a ski trip to mt, hood this past week with the 99 xlt v6 sohc. At first when I saw snow at lower elevations then normal I was a bit worried we would get stuck ( no chains, and stock size Open county a/t's). But the x came through and got us there and back no problem. Only a little...

I have a humming sort of noise coming from my front driver tire. I also have a higher pitched humming noise coming from the rear which i believe is the pinion bearing. I can't aford to fix that now so i'm not worried about it now. My concern is the front end noise. The noise gets louder with the...

I have a 04 Explorer Sport Trac 2WD XLS with 83K miles and recently was getting a strange sound coming from tires/wheels at 35+mph - at first I thought it was tire noise - I had them replaced last year and now they only had 10K on them, however the good folks at Discount Tire drove the ST and...

I noticed some clunking coming from under vehicle and found that the tail pipe was banging on the axle so I rigged that up so the noise would stop. Went for a ride and found that the noise was still there (minus the tail pipe noise). The clunking sounds like it's coming from the front right...
