vibration

Hello this is my first post and I've tried finding to see if anyone has had the same issue but i haven't found anything super similar. I have a 2000 explorer with a 5.0 so i think it is a 4r70w transmission. I started getting a vibration when accelerating and thinking that it was something in...

Hi everyone, Last year or so, I had all ball joints replaced in my 2003 Explorer Sport. I noticed afterwards there was a slight 'vibration' coming from the back when accelerating from a stop. It really wasn't significant and with the age of the vehicle, I just continued on. The problem has...

I have a 2015 Explorer, recently had motor mounts replaced as all 3 were reported broken by dealer. Since car was returned, car had been running loud and rougher than normal. During initial acceleration from stop, car sounds and feels like I have some high performance V8 with modified exhaust...

I have a 1996 Explorer Limited AWD. About a week or so ago it started to develope a slight pull to the right. Four days ago it progressed into a slow humping in the right tire at 15-20 mph and a shimmy in the steering wheel. It goes away at about 45-50 mph and returns as a faster "vibration" at...

Hello, everyone. I have just replaced both rear driveshaft u-joints on a 2005 4x4 Explorer V6 (it had some of the symptoms, like clunking when engaging Reverse). I installed the heavy duty non-greasable Spicer ones recommended by RockAuto, and I used a ball joint press. After re-installing the...

What the heck are these things? They're on the transfer case and rear axle on my '97 XLT, which rolls quietly, but not on my '99 Limited (4wd) which howls at speed. They're also not on my '98 Sport, but it's a 2wd. The guy I bought the Limited from replaced bearings and the transfer case trying...

2000 Explorer XLT 4-Door 4.0 SOHC 2WD 146,000 miles. New tires were put on 2 months ago; they have less than 1,000 miles on them; they're General Grabber HTS. The previous tires were Michelin LTX M/S2 XL. Ever since the new tires were put on, I've had tremendous vibration between 60-73mph...

Let's play "What's! That! Sound?!" I started hearing this sound after a camping trip this past summer. I recall driving over / kicking out a small rock while parking on gravel. Vehicle:1999 Ford Explorer OHV 5-Speed Manual with ~103k miles The situation: It is a rapid-fire, machine gun...

Recently joined the modified club with a Skyjacker 2" lift kit, new wheels, and larger AT tires on my '93 XLT. Most everything is good, but when we hit around 60 mph on the highway there's a vibration up to around 65 mph. Doesn't matter which gear we're in. Reducing the front tire pressure...

I have the 2008 Eddie Bauer with V8 4wd with just over 200k on it. I have a noise and vibration that gets worse the faster you go. I've had a mechanic look at it at least 3 times for it and has not found any wheel bearing bad, but this time he mentioned the front diff pinion bearing race might...

Hi All; I've got my '05 Sport Trac; just over 200k miles. Recently it's started having a significant vibration that I notice when at a stop light. But if I put it into N or PARK the vibration goes away; back in Drive or Reverse and vibrates again. I only notice it at stop lights coz; well...

Hello All, I apologize for the long post but want to give as much info as possible. Ive searched the forums, reddit and facebook for this issue and cant seem to find a solid answer, but see many have had this problem. I am not a mechanic but do work on general maintenance for all of my cars. I...

The Blue Beast, formerly the rust bucket, has a new vibration problem. 91 Explorer 4.0 4WD The problem: At any speed above 25ish I get a nice "VVVVUUURRRTTTT VVVVUUURRRTTT" vibration that I can both hear and feel. It goes in time with the vehicle speed, increasing almost to a steady humm at...

Hey guy, My 07 Explorer (4.6) has been making this new sound recently. Whenever I hit 3900-4100 RPM I get this Vibration that I can feel through the petals and a little while in my seat. Its a deeper tone but it does sound metallic. I can get it to happen in every gear so I'm not sure if its...

Hi everyone, I have this unusual vibration on my ford explorer 2002 v8 which seemed to stop after removing the the front 4X4 drive shaft. The vibration seemed like the entire engine and gear box would fall off! This happens around 10 miles per hour speed. I would appreciate your helpful...

So i've been noticing more and more vibration while driving at 45+mph speeds... even on brand new roads. went under the truck and found this at the center bearing on my drive shaft.... are these replaceable or what? other symptoms i am having are: Rough engaging of first gear from a slow coast...

There is an older thread on this forum titled "vibration-at-highway-speeds" that addresses some of what my 2013 XLT is doing, but not many recent posts in reply, so looking for fresh answers and insight. We bought our 2013 XLT w/40K miles in December 2015 from a Ford dealer. The car was a...

On a fifty mile trip on the expressway last night, I heard/felt a new vibration. Very annoying. It almost felt like it was coming from the roof behind the drive seats (but it wasn't). It persisted for 20 miles or so, and seem to fluctuate (and even stop for a split second) going over bumps...

When I brake, especially if going over 40MPH or so, the front end seems to vibrate quite a bit. My brake pads aren't in the best condition and I have a new set of rotors and pads coming next week (ugh, I hate shipping time). Does it sound like something new rotors and pads might fix?

Ok. My issue is not new. I already searched around on the forum and found a few people discussing this but no posted updates or "SOLVED" threads. I have a 2006 AWD. I have a vibration on acceleration (in pedal/front end). If you let-off and step into it again it goes away. Note also.. I do...

I have a 2001 XLT with a 4.0 V6 SOHC and it has developed a pretty bad vibration when accelerating. I bought the truck in December of 2016 and the only issues with it were the thermostat being stuck open and the 4X4 lights were flashing. Well I disconnected the battery and got the 4X4 lights...

Hi I have a 1996 explorer XL with 173000 kms on it and i haved noticed that RARELY there is a vibration somewheres in the rear end or tires. It doesn't vibrate for long its probably a second or two and its the same vibration as if you where to drive over the safety bumps on this side of the...

This seems to be a common issue. I havent been able to find any replies to this issue other than checking tires;balance, wear, etc. I just bought a '93 ranger xt. 4.0 5 speed I only had $2500 so my options were limited. For $1800 I got a smooth quick little truck. Other than some cosmetic bits...

So I've been having a doozy of a time trying to fix this driveline vibration that popped up a couple months ago. '03 Sport Trac 4x4 120k miles To start off, lack of funds to replace U-Joints caused my rear driveshaft to fall out. Literally had finally made enough spare money to place the...

Hi all. Just traded in our wonderful 2014 fx4 f150 for a new 2017 Ford explorer sport. We test drove one brand new at one dealership and it drove wonderfully. Smooth, nimble and quick. We purchased the same exact vehicle down to the msrp at a different dealer. We picked up the explorer with 12...

Is there an easy way to determine what the gear ratio is? Issue: I heard an odd rattling sound (sounded like a stick got stuck underneath and was dragging along the pavement intermittently). It was random and lasted only a few miles. Now theres a low growling noise with a vibration that...

Having reviewed other posts on the topic of vibration, I didn't find one that was close to my situation with respect to diagnostic work, so I'm posting a new thread. I owned a 2013 Explorer limited with 2WD and loved it except for the lack of power with the standard 6 cyl. engine. The ride...

After replacing the alternator on my husband's '96 Ex this morning (we each have one...his is blue, mine's green), I was driving it and noticed the steering wheel has a terrible shudder AND also a weird vibration noise coming from under the truck.. (not related to my repair...I'm told it was...

Hey all, This has been a developing issue for about a month now (as I try and figure out what is to blame). Whenever I drive my 03 Explorer over 55-60mph there is this horrible vibrating almost shaking feeling that resonates through the footwell and door, the entire front end basically...

So I have a 2001 explorer and it has a bit of a vibration when i am travelling at highway speeds. Recently I decided to crank my torsion bars up and the vibration was noticeably worse. My mechanic says its because of a bent rim but i beg to differ. I feel like its my front driveshaft. Anyone...

Hi...I have a 1999 Explorer XLT 4×4 with the 4.0 Sohc motor. I'm trying hard to figure out what could possibly be causing a hard clanking under my feet and a vibration when accelerating and sometimes at higher speeds. Well, it's more noticeable then. It's constant though, just doesn't feel as...

Hey Explorer Community, I have a 2004 ford explorer with 64,000 miles. it's 4wd. For the last year or so I've noticed a pretty good vibration in the steering wheel once you reach 70mph and above. I just had an alignment, I was hoping that would fixed it but it hasn't. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance

There is a sort of vibration while driving at a speed of 70 to 90kmh speed. The vibration is felt like the engine is starving of fuel. It is similar to manul gear vehicle starving during less accileration at higer gears. At uniform acceleration there is no vibration and smooth transmission...

Hi everyone, this is my first post, but I've been searching and reading on these forums for awhile now. First, a little background info. I got an 01 Explorer EB package with a V6 from a family member last year. The car was sitting for a long time and hadn't moved for over 4 years. It only had...

Ok so I have this really weird vibration going on on my 97 4x4. It only happens once I stop accelerating and when I start slowing down (Using brakes or just coasting). It is not warped rotors because it happens when I'm not using any brakes at all as well as when I am braking. Another strange...

I have a 2004 Mercury Mountaineer AWD with 120,000 miles on. I have always noticed a light drone at highway speeds but it was very light have never has bothered me that much. That got worse last summer, so i went to work and replaced all of the wheel bearings/ hub assemblies. This helped a...

Hey everyone. I just got the Engine Mounts replaced in my X. I've had some vibration at idle which didn't surprise me as the old mounts were stock. Well I got new mounts put in a couple days ago and the shaking has gone down a bit, but it's still there :mad: The only other things I can think of...

ok, I replaced the rotors and brakes all the way around 2 months ago. Everything has been fine. Then the snow came and I engaged my 4X4 for the first time. After I disengaged, I got a horrible noise from the front passenger wheel. Got it in my garage and the hub assembly was shot. Replaced that...

So i drive a 93 xlt its all stock only 101,000miles, I hopped on county highway in front of a semi coming faster than expected so i got on my gas pretty heavy. usually the rpms will get going when i punch on it but this time the rpms kind of just took their time climbing. it didnt matter if i...
