I changed them out and sprayed silicone (per Scotty Kilmore) on all the rubber bushings. I've used the silicone spray method on other vehicles with varying results. The...- Professor_Tomorrow

Hello all, I have an 2015 Explorer XLT AWD with 95,000 miles. I hear a clunking noise at lower speeds (less than cruising speed) while turning right.

Squeaking When Rolling, Goes Away When Pressing Brake
I have a 2000 XLT and whenever I'm driving I hear this constant squeak. It starts at 25MPH and at around 50-55 MPH it goes away. If I am cruising at say 30 MPH, the squeak will constantly get louder and louder, until I lightly press the brake. Then the sound goes away. But after I depress the...- puzzaa
