- 2002 Ford Explorer XLT
I have an 02 Explorer XLT with around 85k miles. Just recently I started to notice what I thought was a bad front wheel bearing. Annoying hummimg noise while driving and it goes away when you turn the wheel right.
I thought it was coming from the front, but after changing both front hubs this week, I still have the noise. I'm guessing it's the rear wheel bearings?? Never really heard of rears going bad this early, until I started reading on this forum.
I had a friend tell me that it might be the front carrier assembly making noise? The sound definately goes away when turning to the right.
Any suggestions?
I have attached pics of the old hubs.....which looked terrible to me. Very surprised they weren't the culprit.
Thanks,
Matt
