Hello,
I have a 91 Explorer, that seems to engage the front hubs on it's own.
I've owned for 7 years, recently while driving, I will slow down and make a fairly sharp turn, there will be a "thunk" and when I resume driving it makes the sound that is made when the front hubs are engaged. If I stop and back up and apply brakes it will disengage until next sharp turn.
It will do this on right or left turns, may be different hub engaging on different turns.
I pulled both front wheels off, checked to make sure brake caliper pins weren't missing (thought maybe the noise was a caliper moving )
Looked at inside of hub , and at end of spindle, didn't really see anything obvious.
My hubs are metal, I've seen where most were plastic, possibly mine are aftermarket ?
Any ideas would be appreciated !
