First, hello to everyone.....I just joined today.
My daughters share a 1998 Ford Explorer AWD (about 150,000 miles on it). They parked in our driveway the past two days (slight slope), only to find the Explorer has drifted down to the curb both days. Additionally, the AWD doesn't appear to be working in the snow. Normally, the SUV is like a tank, but now drives like a rear wheel drive vehicle.
Any thoughts on what may be causing the problem(s)? I will take it to a mechanic this week, but wanted to at least have an idea of what may be behind this. I have heard front drive shaft, viscous coupling, electrical signal, etc.
Any help would be very welcome.
Thank you.
