I'm new to the forum and wanted to say Hello and also am curious about the problem I'm noticing on our 2017 Explorer XLT. When turning the steering wheel, I hear a ticking / clicking noise that sounds like maybe a clockspring issue in the steering column. I'm curious if anyone else has had a...

Hello Everyone, I have reviewed a few other threads but cant seem to get a clear answer. I have a 08' Explorer XLT with stock 16 inch rims that has a 44mm offset. I am wanting to install a 16 or 17 inch rim that has 0mm or 12mm offset. What, if any, issues may occur with the install of such a...

I’m looking into replacing my stock 15” wheels with some 16x8 0 5x114.3 wheels. I’ve searched the site and see that the bolt pattern is correct at 5x114.3 but the offset is confusing me. These wheels have 0 offset so I’m wondering if 255/70r16 tires will work with these wheels on my truck...

Hi all! This is my first post here. I've looked into your thread many times for info and advice and was hoping to get some help. I've been slowly setting up my truck for overland camping. Been waiting for my stock tires to wear out and the time has just about come. What would be the largest...

I have a 2005 Ford Explorer XLT. I get a very short metal grinding noise for a split second at exactly 13 miles per hour when accelerating. I hear it happen around the driver's side front tire and I can feel it in the brake pedal. It only happens ONCE per trip. It doesn't happen again...

I have no clue on much more than driving the truck. I do love it though. A week ago I hit a rim in the middle of the road. Insurance (theirs) is paying for the damage. Basically, the two passenger side rims Wheels are bad and I need new tires. The ones that are on mine are $800 each and cant be...

Anyone here have a clue if the 21 inch rims for the 2020 explorers will fit the 2011-2019 models? Interested to know than murder my wallet with a set of aftermarkets.

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...

Picked up my 1992 Mazda Navajo LX today. Automatic transmission. She's got the D4 axle code, so 3.73 limited-slip front and rear differentials. 4x4, but the button assembly is missing, so I haven't checked if the old auto hubs lock up yet. So, I live in Washington. It rains. A lot. It was...

I need to replace a wheel on a 2014 Explorer, but can not for the life of me find anything close to what is currently on it. The wheel says "ZR Alloy", has 8 dual spokes. Anyone seen these before? If so, where could I find a replacement? Thanks.

I'm looking for the correct size torx socket or bit to remove the steering wheels main mounting bolt. Also anyone know where to find one? preferably in a kit? The largest I have is a T45. Can't find anything larger in any stores, also off hand what is that bolt torqued to?

Hi all, I've had my tires for about a year now, as I remember I got them for winter last year. They cost me around $800 and still have plenty of life on them. However I've been noticing that the outer tread appears to be wearing much faster than the middle and inner tread. What are the...

I haven't found a straight answer anywhere. I'm currently looking for a used wheel to replace a damaged 17x7.5 6 dual spoke wheel for a 2005 mountaineer. I keep finding these wheels listed as either TPMS or non-TPMS. I even asked a couple of the sellers, and they didn't have any useful info...

Can you remove and grease the front caliper pins without having to compress the caliper Pistons? I'm changing the front bearings tomorrow and I also want to grease the pins while I'm at it. I also have to use two brands of bearings unfortunately as usps lost my package that had the inner...

Hey guys So I bought my '01 Sport used about 4 months back and noticed that I needed new tires as the tread was pretty low. Now that I'm done with school for the summer and making enough money to afford a set, I ran into a problem. The factory size for the '01 Sport is 235/75/15 yet the tires...

Hello everybody, this is my first post in explorerforum. I bought my 2002 Ford Explorer XLT (157k) 1 year ago. There is a noise coming from the back when I drive at any speed. The faster I go, the louder it gets. The noise feels like if a tire was flat and it was rubbing against the road...

I just bought a used '02 Explorer 4x4 and it's stuck in 4 High. I think the problem is the 4x4 module behind the glove box. If I try to shift in neutral, the 4 Low light just blinks. Before getting it fixed or the transfer case, if that's it, can I remove the front drive shaft so I don't cause...

1994 FORD EXPLORER XLT: I have replaced the tires and installed new bearings, but I am still getting a "thunk" like I am driving on a flat. It is on the right front wheel. Not sure what to look for?? The 4WD doesn't work. Could that be part of it. U-joint? Axle? This is a project car for...

I just installed a pioneer avh-4500bt into my car. I tried installing the aswc-1 steering wheel audio control adapter. I have the red wire wired correctly and the black wire grounded (which I'm pretty sure I can just connect to the black wire of the aftermarket stereo wiring harness) but I...

Hey guys, I have a 1998 explorer, pretty much stock except for the new all terrain tires I just put on it. I want to put some spacers on to make my wheels stick out farther but I don't know what would fit. Any suggestions?

looking at getting tires and rims for my 03 limited 4x4. I've been doing research on this site for a while but haven't seen anyone running a 265/70/18 (32.6) which is an inch bigger than what I've heard will fit with no rub. the rims I'm wanting are18x9 -12 offset. would that offset cause rub...

Well I was on my way down the highway, when suddenly the front right wheel locked up and stopped turning (thankfully I'm in Alaska so I just kinda slid off the road) so I got out and locked the hub in(for 4x4) and it still happened, just not as bad, any ideas on what it could be?

I'm having issues with my 2002 Explorer 4WD 4.0L -- it started with a slight "humming" noise from the front end...can start to hear it at about 20 mph and gets really loud at 30-40 mph -- then seems to go away after about 50 mph. Here's what I have checked/replaced: 1. First, really thought...

I was changing the tire of my 2000 Mercury Mountaineer (AWD) and was pretty surpised to see that there was a rod/joint completely broken off its attachment point. Whenever I hit a bump or a pothole on the road, I hear a terrible sound--and this must be the reason for that. Located behind...

my 1993 ford explorer currently sits on the stock rims at 15X7 I have an opportunity to buy some other rims that are from a 92 explorer and are at 15X6.5. Both are 5 lug pattern. My question is, will this be an issue for me? Will the wheels even fit my car?

I have just noticed that on the front left hand tyre there is about a 1/2 inch deep groove starting on edge of tyre going 1/3 to atleast 1/2 way round inside tyre edge then it goes back to normal. Its arched shaped. And smooth. I first thought rubbing on something but only goes half way around...

Hi guys, i'm just wondering if anyone has a photo of 30-31'' tires mounted on stock explorer rims? I'm looking at getting new tires, but i'm trying to decide if i want the new larger tires on my stock rims, or if i should get new rims for them... Also, wondering what offset/backspacing i need...

Hello EF, I have a few questions about wheels and tires. What I want to do is buy a set of new 32's to mount on stock rims for my '00 eddie bauer ex. My rims are 16x7.0j. My first questions are: What is the .0j stand for? And will it affect which tire I buy? My second question is: what is a...

I'm having an issue where whenever my 2005 xlt advancetrac is on a slick surface the front tire attempts to drive but bumps into gear rather hard. I just had the hub replaced on thatt wheel and the dealer didn't mention anything else that needed attention. It seems like maybe some sort of gear...

I wanna do a keyless push button start but this is delaying my project... I know its possible, anyone care to explain?

Noticed a loud noise on the passenger side rear tire when backing out of the driveway. The noise sounded like a stick was being dragged and the truck was driving rough and choppy. Almost like it was riding on the brake off and on. Stopped the truck and looked under the truck and didn't see...

I recently bought a 92 explorer sport off a buddy for $200 but it had a few problems such as it needed rotors, a seal for the rear end and new brake lines from the splitter to the wheel cylinders. That is all done but there is a strange sound coming from the left front wheel. The best way I can...
