94... ball joint may be bad?

[94exploder94]

hi.. im 18 and new member, just bought my new explorer and love it but it will make an almost humming or rubbing sound when i make sharp right turns... is this a usual thing or what? I was told when i bought it the allighnement was slightly off due to a bad ball joint... but has driven like that for almost a year with no problem... any ideas or suggestions.

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread to the stock 91-94 section. Look at the inner wheel wells to see if there are scrape marks.

Ball Joints do not make a rotational noise when they are going out.. I would suspect Wheel bearings, HUBS, or Stub axle U-joints.

Does 4x4 work?
