noise

Hey guys, I'm new here but it looks like you guys are good bunch so this is worth a shot. My 2005 Mercury Mountaineer has been making this crunching/rubbing/scratching noise mostly from the driver side footwell. You can only hear the noise when turning at low speeds. After months of looking and...

After I got front suspension work done on my 2005 Ford Explorer XLT, it soon developed an interesting grinding condition. Here are the details: The truck has been sitting in the same position parked for anywhere between 5-20+ minutes. Start the truck normally and put it into "Drive". Drive the...

Good evening Ford Crew. 1997 Ford Explorer, SOHC 4.0. I have driven this truck since it was brand new, and am very familiar with multiple timing chain issues, and how the death rattle sounds: usually starting mostly with rattle on cold starts, aggraveted by colder weather. usually not present...

Hello, I uploaded a video of the noise on youtube. I thought it was the position 2 body mount - thats why I used this angle. I have replaced just about every part on the suspension and it was all great! Then after a bit over a year this noise started. It only happens when turning to the...

I have a 99 explorer sport with a 5-speed 2wd with around 125,000 miles. I have crazy humming coming from the front right wheel well/engine compartment that's slowly been getting worse. It starts around 40 mph and gets louder the faster I go, anything slower and it’s silent. So question of the...

2017 Explorer Sport, 4 months old with 11,000kms (6,600miles). Lately, I've noticed a bit of noise from what I presume is the power steering system. I hear a bit of noise while stopped or at low speed and turning the steering wheel. I haven't noticed this before and is this normal or should I...

So on my way home from town today I went through a little dirt road ally (it was a pretty bumpy and rough road) and once I got onto the road, it was probably 20 seconds before it started making some strange sound. At first I thought it was something rubbing the fan but I checked and there was...

Ok so I’ve been having issues with a combination of pulling to the right, shaking at higher speeds, and a whum whum sound that has a regular rhythm. Been chasing this gremlin for a little while but am getting tired of throwing money at it (more specifically the wife is getting tired of it) and...

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...

Hi guys! I wasn't sure where to post this so if this is the wrong area please let me know. I have a Ford Escape 2009 XLT V6 FWD and I've started noticing that when I take sharp/hard turns left or right (but more so left) the back wheels on whichever side is holding the weight during that turn...

Hi all, at about 60000mi I'm getting a fairly loud whirr from the drive train. I jacked up front both wheels of the ground and wheels spin together by hand ok, no obvious sign of bearing issues, did same for rear. Gets louder the faster I go. Almost sounds as if I had a set of super...

2000 Explorer XLT, 4.0L SOHC, 2WD, 128,000 Miles I'm hearing a wah-wah-wah-wah-wah sound coming from the front tire/s. The sound is 100% correlated with vehicle seed... speed up and the sound gets faster... slow down and the sound gets slower. I've been told that the front wheel bearings are...

You know what it sounds like when a TV is turned on, even if there is nothing playing? There is that very faint, high pitched noise of electricity that you can hear, like a frequency.. Like a dog whistle, I guess... Exactly like this video! I can hear it while driving.. and especially if...

My son traveled to Atlanta, to attend a meeting. He is having problems with his 2004 Explorer. He says it sounds like something is grinding, on the drivers side, near the rear. It could be anything.... (Brakes, wheel bearing, etc., etc.). He lives in Nashville, TN, and has to get back home...

How in the world do I fix the noise coming from the speakers that is directly affected by the acceleration of the engine? It appears to only be one speaker and it is driving me nuts. 2004 ford explorer xlt upgraded the sound system but I believe I had the problem even with the...

My truck is making this noise in the video does anyone know what it may be?

I have an 04' Ford Explorer 4dr XLT 4WD with 150K miles. Recently, there is a loud ticking noise coming from around the engine when I start the vehicle. It only lasts for about a minute or two, and then goes away and doesn't come back until after it has been started up again after being off...

I can go to a retail shop and get them to diagnose this but I'm asking here... Being unable to hear anything wrong with the 2005 Explorer jacked up and running... being unable to get my nephew to puppy dog at the rear windows while I'm driving... Having already replaced both rear wheel...

Hi. I have a 97 Eddie Bauer Explorer with a rattle in what sounds like the rear passenger tire area. We have replaced the rear pads and rotors and we have completely removed the parking brake (I live I Florida and have never used it anyway). It only rattles at acceleration upto 20-30mph. And...

So here it goes again! I was diagnosing a shake at 65 mph, turns out it was coned tires since i never got an alignment after doing tie rods a couple years ago. Figured this out by doing a rotation backs to front. Rides nice and smooth now (as smooth as mudders will allow atleast). Doing this...

Hey there! First off, let me start by saying that I am so proud of where ExplorerForum has come! The website looks great, and the community is bigger, better, and more active than ever! Let's begin... For a long time now, I have had an oil leak. I would put 2 quarts of 5W-30 in, and about 3...

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...

I am working on a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer, V6-FlexFuel AWD. This wekeend, I replaced the rear brake pads and rotors. Also, the parking brakes on both sides were completely shot. I also replaced the parking brake pads. This is the first time I've done this on this style of parking brake...

We have had our 2016 Explorer sport for about a month now. We live in Michigan which means our freeways can be bumpy. We have noticed a very loud "gong" noise when hitting bumps that extend completely across the lane of the highway. The noise is similar to hitting a hollow metal pipe. It is...

Have 2002 Eddie Bauer 4x4 with the V6. 150Kmiles. 4x4 function hasn't worked in a while (I believe the transfer control module is out). Have had same tires (combo off-road/road SUV) for some years now; tread doesn't seem to wear much but the tires are 'stiff'; ride is very firm. Lately there...

When I start up my truck (happens with both remote start and key start) there is a very loud screeching coming from the belt I'm assuming. It only happens for a quick second and only on startup no matter if the engines hot or cold. I just replaced the belt a few months ago and it stopped for...

I cannot seem to find reference to this issue anywhere else. For reference - I have an 08 XLT with Manual HVAC controls (no rear HVAC) Cold air blows out of a round hole(in the HVAC Case) in the drivers side floor boards area. This happens when the heat is on. First off - I replaced the...

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...

Hi all, I've been hearing a strange metal popping sound coming from the rear suspension ever since I took my car to the garage to have a bolt drilled out (front sway bar bushing bracket). It sounded like a spring to me but honestly it could be anything. Here's a picture of the strut in...

Hey guys, first time poster here... Recently came into ownership of an '06 Explorer. Been having rear noise issues for awhile now, but it's steadily getting worse. I thought it may have been possible tire noise at first, as the treads that came with it were badly worn on the inside edges...

Hello All, I'm hoping the community can help me track down the cause of a surprisingly loud whistle-like noise that occurs only when moving. Here is a list of the conditions: Easily heard within the cabin Doesn't really fluctuate, definitely doesn't change with RPM Occurs even with engine off...

Good day, quick backstory. Purchased about a year ago 2003 4.6 Mercury Mountaineer. Engine was replaced back in 2012 with a 4.6 from Mustang. Truck runs smooth, no lights or anything but it has a noise that sounds like coming from engine. Already replaced tranny, TC and flexplate thinking that...

Hi, im from ma, I have an 04 mountaineer that I love to death. It's rust free, pretty and rides great. Only problem is, it has a knock sound under around 1300rpm. No metal in the oil, it does not go away if you disconnect any of the plugs, but above 1300 rpm it's gone, only at idle...

The rear differential was just rebuilt/replaced in my 2003 4wd Ford Explorer. It is making noise again and I wonder about the fluid that was put in it. Any recommendations - do I need to do a complete fluid change? TIA

Hi all, This wind noise has been getting louder and louder over the past few months. It appears to be on the driver's side and it's only noticeable when driving next to a barrier median in the passing lane. It sounds like puffs of air/wind. It's not a constant noise but rather a noise that...

Hi, guys. So My 1998 AWD started making another weird noise. This time it's a SUPER LOUD clicking / popping noise that comes out from what sounds like the transfer case (maybe?). The strangest thing about this noise is that it is completely random. Most of the time it will click for a few...

After reading almost every post about fan noises in this forum, I haven't found an answer that fits my problem. I've got a 2004 Explorer XLT V8 (130,000 km) which has a blowing noise from the hood. I'm pretty sure the source is the fan due to its distinctive blowing sound. The blowing...

Hello I have Explorer 2005 , 170K KM, recently I am getting noise comes from the dashboard when I start the car. The noise comes only when the the car stop for 4 to 5 hours (in the morning and when I back home from work). The noise will disappear after 2 to 3 minutes and also when I drive the...

humming /whining sound from front end. Not all the time , but most times . When noise is there , turning the wheel slightly changes the frequency of the noise. Appears to come from front left. Noise loud enough that i cannot hear my normal engine or exhaust sound. What could this be. Thanks in...

Hello, I have a 2003 Mountaineer with a 4.6, AWD, 3rd row seating, towing package, and a remanufactured transmission. Aprox 164k miles. Original drivetrain components except the transmission. Has recieved diff and transfer case flushes ect same owner since 2004 (my Aunt) I have a very...
